The 91 amendments tabled to the draft legislative report on the design and manufacture of personal protective equipment will be discussed on 24 March.

The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) is aimed to simplify and clarify the existing framework for the placing on the market of construction products. It lays down the conditions for the placing or making available on the market of construction products by establishing harmonised rules on how to express the performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics and on the use of CE marking on those products.

The internal market (also referred to as the Single Market; SM) - an area of free movement for goods, people, services and capital - is at the heart of the European project since its inception and has been further developed since 1993 by the consolidation of economic integration, the introduction of common currency and solidarity and cohesion policies.
