Article 4 Technical infrastructure

For the purpose of this Protocol, Israel agrees to take appropriate measures, in consultation with the European Commission, to establish and maintain appropriate Responsible Authorities in accordance with Article 9.

In sectors covered by this Protocol where relevant EU law is based upon the use of technical standards giving presumption of conformity with essential safety requirements (known as "New Approach" sectors) Israel agrees to establish and maintain bodies that are capable of sustaining the functions of standardisation, metrology, accreditation, market surveillance, assessment of general safety of products, and assessment and enforcement of producer liability on its territory at a level broadly equivalent to those in place in the Member States of the EU.
