Amending the Measuring Instruments Directive

Proposal for a directive (COM(2024)0561 – C10-0205/2024 – 2024/0311(COD))

_____________________________________________________________

Amendment 1

Proposal for a directive

Recital 2

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(2) The scope and the associated essential requirements covered by Directive 2014/32/EU were already established by Directive 2004/22/EC3, of which Directive 2014/32/EU is a recast. Thus, they have remained unchanged for more than 20 years. In the meantime, new measuring instruments have appeared on the market that are not covered by Directive 2014/32/EU. That is notably the case for electric vehicle supply equipment and compressed gas dispensers, which are important for the successful rollout of clean mobility. Moreover, Directive 2014/32/EU does not cover thermal energy meters for cooling applications. In addition, as far as electricity and gas meters are concerned, Directive 2014/32/EU neither covers the use of hydrogen and other gases that can be used as alternatives to more traditional gases, nor enables to take full advantage of smart metering which plays an important role in achieving the Union climate objectives. Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the scope of Directive 2014/32/EU and the essential requirements set out in the Annexes to that Directive in order to take into account technological progress.
