(Ordinary legislative procedure: first reading)

The European Parliament,

– having regard to the Commission proposal to Parliament and the Council (COM(2024)0561),

– having regard to Article 294(2) and Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, pursuant to which the Commission submitted the proposal to Parliament (C100205/2024),

– having regard to Article 294(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Removed– having regard to the reasoned opinions submitted, within the framework of Protocol No 2 on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, by the Austrian National Council and the Spanish Parliament, asserting that the draft legislative act does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity,

– having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee of 22 January 2025,

Added– having regard to the provisional agreement approved by the committee responsible under Rule 75(4) of its Rules of Procedure and the undertaking given by the Council representative by letter of 26 November 2025 to approve Parliament’s position, in accordance with Article 294(4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

▸5 unchanged paragraphs

– having regard to Rule 60 of its Rules of Procedure,

– having regard to the report of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (A10-0173/2025),

1. Adopts its position at first reading hereinafter set out;

Change 1

RemovedRecital 2: (2) The scope and the associated essential requirements covered by Directive 2014/32/EU were already established by Directive 2004/22/EC3 , of which Directive 2014/32/EU is a recast. Thus, they have remained unchanged for more than 20 years. In the meantime, new measuring instruments have appeared on the market that are not covered by Directive 2014/32/EU. That is notably the case for electric vehicle supply equipment and compressed gas dispensers, which are important for the successful rollout of clean mobility. Moreover, Directive 2014/32/EU does not cover thermal energy meters for cooling applications. In addition, as far as electricity and gas meters are concerned, Directive 2014/32/EU neither covers the use of hydrogen and other gases that can be used as alternatives to more traditional gases, nor enables to take full advantage of smart metering which plays an important role in achieving the Union climate objectives. Therefore, it is appropriate to amend the scope of Directive 2014/32/EU and the essential requirements set out in the Annexes to that Directive in order to take into account technological progress. It is important that further amendments, particularly in response to technological developments such as those affecting water meters, are considered in a future revision of Directive 2014/32/EU. It is important that such a revision aims to assess whether the essential requirements for these measuring instruments remain appropriate to ensure high metrological perfo…

RemovedRecital 7 a (new): (7a) The improvement of electric vehicle charging infrastructure is in the common interest of all stakeholders. This Directive does not aim to impose retrofitting obligations on existing charging stations, but to establish a harmonised framework for newly installed electric vehicle supply equipment.
