EFCC press release- Parliament plenary vote on the Construction Products Regulation
The European Parliament adopted in second reading the Construction Products Regulation.
EFCC welcomes the adoption by the Parliament of this new Regulation that will enter fully into force on 1 July 2013, and which strengthens the Declaration of Performance, as well as the procedures for Notified Bodies and market surveillance for construction products.
However, EFCC continues to regret that the objective of simplification of the regulatory environment and better regulation for construction products have not been achieved, and considers that some of the new provisions will impose unnecessary burdens to enterprises.In that sense, the new Construction Products Regulation is indeed a missed opportunity.
