THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 October 2019 establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples, amending Regulations (EC) No 808/2004, (EC) No 452/2008 and (EC) No 1338/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1177/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC) No 577/981, and in particular Article 19(1) thereof,
Whereas:
In accordance with Article 19(5) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1700, Denmark, Croatia, the Netherlands and Poland submitted requests for derogation within 3 months of the date of entry into force of the Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2019/22402 and (EU) 2019/22413.
It appears from the information provided to the Commission that the requests of Denmark, Croatia, the Netherlands and Poland are justified by the need for major adaptations to national administrative and statistical systems in order to comply with Implementing Regulations (EU) 2019/2240 and (EU) 2019/2241.
The requested derogations should therefore be granted to Denmark, Croatia, the Netherlands and Poland.
