I might be the last guy on the planet to learn about this "new" legislation >from 2008, but it seems to address some of the discussion we have been having about legally binding definitions. It seems the key legislation is two regulations and a council decision, all related to "marketing products" within scope of the CE marking directives. Unless there is a better catch phrase out there, I think it's fair to call this the "New Approach II"
A commission website addresses the overview http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/regulati n/internal_market_package/index_en.htm. <http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/regulat on/internal_market_package/index_en.htm> Of course, one can argue about how 'binding" these might be, but the key legislation is Regulation 765/2008, Regulation 764/2008 and Council Decision 768/2008/EC For me, Eur-lex, is the best source for the base document, corrigenda and amendments. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm <http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm> I use the "simple search" link in the upper left frame.
