In order to fulfil the objective of this Regulation of facilitating fair international recruitment, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of amending this Regulation with regard to the Annex providing the list of Union-wide shortage occupations. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts.
