According to the Chair of the Committee ambassador Arūnas Vinčiūnas, the main purpose is to bring more clarity and reduce unnecessary burden on market players and to improve the level of radio equipment compliance with the established requirements.
“This legislation is equally important to the undertakings operating in the European Union which import or distribute radio equipment, as well as to manufacturers and end-users of such equipment, and institutions responsible for the supervision of radio equipment market”, - said ambassador A. Vinčiūnas.
The first informal trilogue is scheduled for 27th November.
