European Union: How the EU Technical Regulation Information System Works

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

This report explains the role and procedures of the EU’s Technical Regulation Information System (TRIS). This system allows for EU Member States and the European Commission to address potential intra-EU technical barriers to trade resulting from a Member State’s proposed national legislation on goods and services. Of all the draft national legislations notified through TRIS, approximately a quarter of the notifications are for proposed national laws on food, fisheries and agriculture.
