of 7 March 2007

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas:

 

(1)

Directive 71/316/EEC makes provision, in item 3.1.1.1(a) of Annex II, for the distinguishing capital letters of Member States to be used for the EEC initial verification mark affixed on a measuring instrument and indicating that the latter conforms to the EEC requirements.
 

(2)

Directive 71/316/EEC makes provision, in item 3.2.1 of Annex II, for the drawings, showing the shape, dimensions and outline of the letters for the EEC initial verification marks as laid down in item 3.1 of that Annex.
 

(3)

The drawings of the distinguishing letters were not provided in the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and in the 2003 Act of Accession. According to Annex II, Chapter 1, point D1.b of the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and of the 2003 Act of Accession, the drawings to which Annex II item 3.2.1 of Directive 71/316/EEC refers are supplemented by the requisite letters.
