The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) allows the Commission to adopt legal acts to implement or to complement the CPR, in the form of
implementing or delegated acts mentioned in Articles 26(3) and 60 of the CPR respectively1.
In addition, the CPR mandates the Commission to report to the European Parliament (EP) and to the Council on different aspects of that Regulation.
The following table provides an overview on the tasks, which the Commission intends to undertake for the implementation of the CPR. This table is available
at the following website http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/construction/product-regulation.
A number of tasks have already been performed and delegated acts, implementing acts as well as reports adopted accordingly. The adopted legal acts and
reports can be found at the following website http://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/construction/product-regulation.

In accordance with Articles 290 and 291 TFEU, as well as pursuant to the CPR, the process followed for the adoption and entry into force of the implementing and
delegated acts varies: while implementing acts are adopted by the Commission and published in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) for their entry into force after the
consultation of a Committee composed of Member State representatives, delegated acts need to be scrutinized by the EU legislators (i.e. the European Parliament and the
Council of the European Union) after their adoption by the Commission, before they can be published in the OJEU. Further information on implementing and delegated acts
is available at http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/institutional_affairs/treaties/lisbon_treaty/ai0032_en.htm and http://ec.europa.eu/atwork/decision-
making/index_en.htm.
