Free movement of goods: our priorities for 2024-2029

Key messages

• Focus on reinforcing the New Legislative Framework (NLF) with an ‘NLF 2.0’ that includes an omnibus to streamline existing interpretations in legislation as well as ensuring an NLF- check’ on all future legislation that is relevant to the NLF.
• In the context of the NLF 2.0, consider a targeted revision to the Standardisation Regulation to ensure the private-public partnership model is preserved.
• Consider a revision of the Mutual Recognition Regulation to properly implement and enforce the principle.
• Increase resourcing for Market Surveillance Authorities so they can meet the demands from new legislation.
