AI:In short

Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a directive amending fourteen existing directives on product rules, to add emergency procedures for conformity assessment, common specifications and market surveillance during a single market emergency. The amended version covers emergency procedures for conformity assessment, presumption of conformity, adoption of common specifications and market surveillance. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal. As Parliament and Council reached agreement, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Directive (EU) 2024/2749.
