Recital 4
Recital 4
(4) Article 4(4) should be deleted to take into account Article VI of the new agreement which provides for two separate product certification schemes (self- certification for products placed on the Union market and third-party certification for products placed on the United States market). In the long term, the Union should work towards harmonisation of certification schemes in the United States and the Union, so that both parties have third-party certification.
Amendment 3 #

Recital 8 a (new)
Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) If the Union does not sign up for third-party certification in the long term, there is a risk that European producers' market share in the United States will be reduced, since it will be more attractive for consumers to invest in third-party certified office equipment (security for a high standard). Signing up for third-party certification will therefore have a positive effect for European producers in the long term.
