Justification

In order to simplify the provisions on the date of application, a single harmonised date in 2028 is introduced in place of the complicated and conditional mechanism proposed by the Commission. This also better reflects the realities on the ground, notably the complexity of the legal framework, the time needed for the development of standards, and the practical challenges businesses face in preparing for compliance.
