FEM has submitted its response to the Commission consultation on the proposal for a Regulation complementing EU type-approval legislation with regard to the UK withdrawal from the EU(BREXIT preparedness).
FEM particularly calls on the co-legislators to adopt this Regulation as quickly as possible to ensure that manufacturers and EU type-approval authorities make the necessary arrangements for a transfer of the UK type-approvals to the EU-27 ones, in time before the withdrawal date when the UK leaves the European Union (29 March 2018).
FEM also points out the need for further clarification and improvement of the text regarding:
- clarifying the cases when a renewed type approval is obligatory,
- addressing the issue of production in stock, and
- providing grounds for the request to repeat tests already carried out when obtaining the UK type approval.
