Council green lights simplification of construction products marketing

During a public debate yesterday, the Competitiveness Council reached a political agreement on a draft regulation simplifying and clarifying the conditions for marketing construction products in the internal market (9459/10). The draft will now go to second reading in the EP. The Commission proposal is part of the simplification rolling programme (p.39).
The proposed regulation aims to clarify the basic concepts and the use of "CE marking" and introduce simplified procedures to reduce the costs incurred by enterprises.The discussion addressed i.a. possible impact of the declaration of performance on SME's and micro-enterprises and the compatibility of the declaration of performance with better regulation principles.
