Recital 42

(42) The Treaty of Lisbon amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community (22), signed at Lisbon on 13 December 2007, introduced a distinction between powers delegated to the Commission to adopt delegated acts, that is non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act, and the powers conferred upon the Commission to adopt implementing acts, that is acts to ensure uniform conditions for implementing legally binding Union acts. Directives 2000/60/EC and 2006/118/EC should be aligned to the legal framework introduced by that Treaty.
