Europe - type-approval legislation with regard to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union
Business description
The official Journal of the European Union published on the 8th of January 2019 REGULATION (EU) 2019/26 complementing Union type-approval legislation with regard to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union.
The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union would, in the absence of any special provisions, have the effect that EC type-approvals and EU type-approvals previously granted by the type-approval authority of the United Kingdom (‘UK type-approval authority’), in accordance with regulatory acts of the Union, could no longer ensure access to the Union market. Such type-approvals are also held by manufacturers established within the Member States other than the United Kingdom. While vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units type-approved by the United Kingdom, in accordance with regulatory acts of the Union can be placed on the Union market until Union type-approval legislation ceases to apply to and in the United Kingdom, it is necessary to establish special provisions for the purposes of facilitating the placing on the Union market of those vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units after that date.
This Regulation should ensure that manufacturers continue to have the greatest possible freedom to choose the new Union type-approval authority. In particular, that choice by the manufacturer should not be dependent on the consent of the UK type-approval authority or the existence of any arrangements between the UK type- approval authority and the new Union type-approval authority.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
