- Continue to meet the manufacturers’ need to have a predictable regulatory process to support investment
- Continue to define the “Generally-accepted State of the Art” by consensus-driven standards
- Achieve the Commission’s objective for legal certainty using voluntary Harmonised Standards providing Presumption of Conformity
- Achieve the best balance between technical & service neutrality and the need for interoperability
