(48) In order to adapt this Directive to scientific and technical progress, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in respect of setting a threshold for leakages, determining the conformity assessment procedure for products in contact with water intended for human consumption, laying down a procedure for applications to ECHA to include in or remove from the European positive lists starting substances, compositions or constituents, establishing a marking for products in contact with water, adopting a methodology to measure microplastics, amending Annex III and amending the parametric value for Bisphenol A in Part B of Annex I. 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 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. In addition, the empowerment laid down in Note 10 of Part C of Annex I to Directive 98/83/EC, to set monitoring frequencies and monitoring methods for radioactive substances, has become obsolete due to the adoption of Council Directive 2013/51/Euratom Council Directive 2013/51/Euratom of 22 October 2013 laying down requirements for the protection of the health of the general public with regard to radioactive substances in water intended for human consumption (OJ L 296, 7.11.2013, p. 12). and should therefore be deleted. The empowerment laid down in the second subparagraph of Part A of Annex III to Directive 98/83/EC concerning amendments of the Directive is no longer necessary and should be deleted.
