AI:What changed, in short

The new version no longer approves a Council draft but recommends approving the Commission proposal without amendments.13 The explanatory statement now focuses on removing the EUR 150 threshold and extending the IOSS and deemed supplier regime to all distance sales of imported goods.3 The other change is a wording update in the request for re-consultation.2
