THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002 on the application of international accounting standards(1), and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) By Commission Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008(2) certain international standards and interpretations that were in existence at 15 October 2008 were adopted.
(2) On 10 January 2008, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 3 (Revised) Business Combinations, hereinafter ‘revised IFRS 3’. The revised IFRS 3 establishes principles and rules about how an acquirer in a business combination has to recognise and measure in its books the different elements (such as identifiable assets, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interest and goodwill) connected to the accounting treatment of the acquisition transaction. It also determines the information to be disclosed concerning such transactions.
(3) The consultation with the Technical Expert Group (TEG) of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) confirms that the revised IFRS 3 meets the technical criteria for adoption set out in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. In accordance with Commission Decision 2006/505/EC of 14 July 2006 setting up a Standards Advice Review Group to advise the Commission on the objectivity and neutrality of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group’s (EFRAG’s) opinions(3), the Standards Advice Review Group considered EFRAG’s opinion on endorsement and advised the Commission that it is well-balanced and objective.
(4) The adoption of the revised IFRS 3 implies, by way of consequence, amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 2, IFRS 7, International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12, IAS 16, IAS 28, IAS 32, IAS 33, IAS 34, IAS 36, IAS 37, IAS 38, IAS 39 and Interpretation 9 of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) in order to ensure consistency between international accounting standards.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 1126/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Accounting Regulatory Committee,
