It is therefore appropriate to publish the references of those European Assessment Documents in the Official Journal of the European Union.\n(5)\nThe list of references of European Assessment Documents is published by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/450. For reasons of clarity, references of new European Assessment Documents should be added to that list.\n(6)\nImplementing Decision (EU) 2019/450 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nIn order to enable the use of the European Assessment Documents as early as possible, this Decision should enter into force on the day of its publication,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
