AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to update the Measuring Instruments Directive for electric vehicle supply equipment, compressed gas dispensers, and electricity, gas and thermal energy meters.

The update aims to harmonise definitions and standards across the Union for these new technologies, improving mutual recognition and reducing regulatory fragmentation.

Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.
