Introduces a suspension mechanism for safe country designations via delegated acts, with partial suspension and reinstatement procedures. Changes the armed conflict exception: removes the geographical limitation and adds that temporary protection activation establishes the threat. Removes the list of specific countries from recital 16 and adds a provision for earlier application of accelerated procedures. Adds a requirement for the Commission to maintain a registry of restrictive measures and clarifies the role of recognition rates. Other changes are formal or wording: rephrasing, grammatical fixes, and deletion of duplicates.
