Representatives from authorities as well as from industry acknowledged the fact that the principle of mutual recognition does not function very well within the EU.

Companies find the existence of different national rules, such as requirements on the use of specific test methods or pre-approval, \u00a0as legally uncertain and authorities have difficulties applying the current regulation on mutual recognition.<\/p>\n
