The European Commission has requested Finland to comply with its obligations under EU law to repeal national legislation on the calibration of ships' tanks that implemented a Directive dating from 1971 (71/349/EEC). The deadline for Member States to repeal this legislation was 1 July 2011. The obligation to withdraw national legislation on the calibration of ships' tanks was imposed by a Directive (2011/17/EU) that repeals 8 Council Directives regarding metrology in order to simplify and reduce the administrative burden on European companies. |
