Hello Stéphane,
All items marked as 'Required' need to be implemented. You can have several reporting options for your customers though, like one "simple" report only with the stats you choose and an "advanced" one with all fields required. The second option needs to be available to the users. Please note I am not a member of the audit team and I describe the solution based on my own understanding. -Danial, AdWords API Team.
