EU Directives, Regulations, and Decisions Published
Summary
The European Union has published several new legal acts, including a directive amending measuring systems for electric vehicle supply equipment and energy meters, a regulation on cooperation among enforcement authorities for unfair trading practices in the agricultural and food supply chain, and a decision postponing the expiry date of copper (II) oxide approval for biocidal products.
What changed
The European Union has published a series of new legal acts. Directive (EU) 2026/706 amends Directive 2014/32/EU concerning measuring systems for electric vehicle supply equipment, compressed gas dispensers, and electricity, gas, and thermal energy meters. Regulation (EU) 2026/697 establishes cooperation mechanisms among enforcement authorities responsible for implementing the directive on unfair trading practices in the agricultural and food supply chain. Additionally, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/619 postpones the expiry date for the approval of copper (II) oxide for use in biocidal products under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
These publications represent final rules and decisions that will impact regulated entities within the EU. Companies involved in the manufacturing, sale, or use of energy meters, EV charging equipment, agricultural and food products, and biocidal products should review these acts to ensure compliance with any updated requirements or procedures. Specific compliance deadlines and actions will depend on the detailed provisions within each legal act, which are typically published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

- Review Directive (EU) 2026/706 for updated requirements on measuring systems.
- Review Regulation (EU) 2026/697 for cooperation mechanisms in agricultural and food supply chains.
- Review Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/619 regarding biocidal product approvals.
