Course details
The Single Market Transparency Directive (EU)
2015/1535 (SMTD) requires EU Member States, EFTA countries, Turkey and the UK
in respect of Northern Ireland to notify draft technical regulations to the
European Commission and the other participating countries in order to allow
assessment of proposed legislation under EU law provisions. The SMTD is a key
instrument for single market harmonisation and prevention of the emergence of
barriers to trade within the internal market.
Target audience
A. EU Member States' civil servants; B. Stakeholders and private individuals affected by technical regulations adopted at national level
Learning objectives

- Inform the general public about the notification obligations of Member States under the SMTD and the repercussions of non-compliance with the aim of promoting private monitoring and enforcement.
