This should enable manufacturers to access the internal market more efficiently, thus contributing to greater competitiveness of the construction industry as a whole.\n(4)\nDecision 96/581/EC should therefore be repealed and replaced in the interest of clarity and transparency,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
