Orgalim Calls for Simplicity, Digital Tools in EU's 2026 Legislative Framework Update

"As the European Union updates its New Legislative Framework (NLF) for 2026, Orgalim outlines its views on how to modernize while preserving core principles. The organisation argues that the NLF should remain fundamentally simple: require economic operators to ensure product conformity, maintain manufacturers' responsibility for conformity assessment, and keep essential safety markings. It recommends introducing digital tools to streamline product information and market surveillance, clarifying obligations for online marketplaces, and strengthening circularity. Orgalim also calls for clearer conformity assessment procedures, the creation of an EU Market Surveillance Authority, and appropriate transition periods. The revision references Regulation 765/2008, Decision 768/2008, the Market Surveillance Regulation (EU) 2019/10201, and the Standardisation Regulation (EC) 1025/2012, with coherence across GPSR, UCC, and the DSA."
