The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is undertaking a study into the arguments for and against a ‘Merger of the Noise from Outdoor Equipment Directive, 2000/14/ EC, with the Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC’, for the European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry. This study will support the European Commission’s services in charge of assessing possible options to simplify the current EU legal framework on noise emission from outdoor equipment.
The present survey aims to collect the views of stakeholders on their experience with the existing provisions on noise emissions from machinery generally and outdoor equipment in particular and explore possible alternatives for simplifying the current legislative framework as well as the cost and benefits associated with these options.
Your experience and contribution are essential for the success of this assessment and so we kindly ask for some of your valuable time to answer this questionnaire and improve the quality of the analysis that will support the European Commission and other public bodies across the EU in the decision-making process.
Please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team, should you need any clarification.
