Defining a simplified data set to be transmitted in the future (see table page 3 of the doc.)
Repealing the existing EP and Council Regulation (on CVTS only, adopted in 2005)

3. Simplification Moving from 14 topics to 6 topics

Possibility to use alternative sources to measure some of the topics (AES, LCS)
