  1. ALIGNMENT PACKAGE 21 November 2011 Commission adoption of an overarching Communication and NINE harmonisation directives to be aligned to Decision 768/2008 of the July 2008 as follow up to the goods package Jacques McMillan jacques.mcmillan@ec.europa.eu

  2. 4 Objectives of “goods package 2008”: High level of protection Consequent free movement of goods Simplification, coherence & clarity of legislation Complete legislative framework with market surveillance and accreditation.

  3. The New Legislative Framework: Regulation 765 on accreditation & market surveillance Decision 768 on common technical requirements: definitions, obligations for economic operators, notification, conformity assessment processes, & market surveillance.

  4. Implementation of the NLF Regulation 765: directly applicable behind existing & future legislation. Decision 768: sui generis: its provisions require integration into sectoral legislation Alignment of sectoral legislation

  5. Advantages of alignment: Regulatory coherence Reduction of unnecessary burdens Simplification & clarity Reinforced effectiveness & enforcement. How to align?: Case by case or package

  6. Why the package?: Build on the momentum of the goods package Quick, wide application of NLF across many sectors Reinforce delivery of market surveillance & level playing field

  7. Preparation of the package: Selection of sectors Selection of horizontal provisions Integration of 768 texts with sectoral language Texts replaced one to one

  8. The package: LVD, EMC & ATEX MID & NAWI Pyrotechnics & civil explosives SPD & lifts Not in the package: pressure equipment

  9. Preparation of the Package: Impact assessment process Recast technique imposed by Lisbon Treaty Translations revised in the process Standardization articles to COM new proposal.

  10. Comitology issues: ATEX & Lifts loose Committees. Pyrotechnics, Civil explosives & Measuring Instruments keep them, but… LVD, EMC, NAWI & SPD don’t have. Delegated/implementation powers for Commission under Civil explosives, Pyros, MID & Lifts.

  11. Negotiation process: In Council: single WG Horizontal theme by theme Keep off sectoral temptations Take them last should they arise Take modules separately Work off the EN version
