When exercising its power to adopt those delegated acts, the Commission shall:(a)ensure that the delegated acts are duly justified and do not create significant additional burden on the Member States or returning holdings;(b)carry out analyses of the relevance, feasibility and proportionality of such an amendment, including the availability and quality of appropriate data sources, in particular relevant administrative sources, and take the results of those analyses duly into account;(c)ensure that new topics added are linked to the CAP objectives;(d)not add new topics until 20 December 2028;(e)adopt those delegated acts, when new topics are added, at least one year before the date of application of the related implementing act as referred to in Article 8(4).3.FSDN data and data from other datasets set out in Article 4a shall be used to carry out analyses on the state of sustainability of Union agriculture, including in a format allowing benchmarking.
