This Directive aims to streamline and simplify reporting requirements across several EU directives related to food safety, outdoor noise, healthcare, and radio equipment. It modifies four existing directives to reduce administrative burdens while maintaining policy objectives, targeting a 25% reduction in reporting requirements.The Directive’s structure includes amendments to four key EU directives:
- Directive 1999/2/EC on food and food ingredients treated with ionising radiation – removes annual reporting requirements as they are covered by Regulation 2017/625
- Directive 2000/14/EC on outdoor noise equipment – eliminates redundant documentation and data collection requirements
- Directive 2011/24/EU on cross-border healthcare – changes reporting frequency from three to five years
- Directive 2014/53/EU on radio equipment – reduces reporting frequency from two to five years
Key provisions include:
- Member States must only report facility details for ionising radiation treatment of food, not annual check results
- Removal of requirements for manufacturers to send conformity declarations for outdoor equipment to authorities
- Next report on cross-border healthcare implementation due in 2027
- Member States must submit radio equipment compliance reports by December 2027 and every 5 years thereafter
- Implementation deadline for Member States is set for November 28, 2025
