I believe one of the situations that arises from the NLF is that the
requirements of each Directive are being harmonised. This often means
looking at all the Directives, finding the 'most strict requirement'
and then applying it to all the others.
That is neither logical nor reasonable. Shall we have all the special
requirements of the Machinery and Automotive Directives applied to
toys, for example?
So, you couldn't have this requirement for the Toy Safety Directive
and then say that it doesn't apply to other Directives, because that
would not be in line with the Directive harmonisation and NLF.
If that is the official view, it is even more insane than anything
previously emitted from Brussels.
Perhaps I should say more about 'harmonization'. It cannot mean
procrustean (so look it up!) 'identicality' or 'no difference' unless it
is of extremely restricted application. Different topics almost de facto
imply differences in regulation.
The whole point of 'harmonization' is to eliminate **unnecessary and
unjustified** differences. It would be difficult for anyone to object to
that.
I wonder to what extent these new requirements are of the nature of
'being seen to be doing something', like the air travel 'security'
requirements.
