| 3 a. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 11 to supplement the Directive in order to set an official EU website, available in all EU languages, to collect information referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, to facilitate the use for Card holders, in accordance with the relevant accessibility requirements for services set in Annex I of Directive (EU) 2019/882. |
It would be useful to set an EU-level website available in all EU languages that can be browsed by Member State, to facilitate the use for Card holders. This would be much easier for users to navigate than 27 different websites with different layouts, structures, and languages and it will also save costs.
