Details

PURPOSE: to codify Council Directive 80/181/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement.

LEGAL BASE: Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to undertake the codification of Council Directive 81/181/EEC of 20 December 1979 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to units of measurement and on the repeal of Directive 71/354/EEC .

The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. This proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: this proposal has no implication for the EU budget.
