Principle of partnership, cooperation and the clear division of tasks between the public authorities and the duly recognised European standardisation bodies

Through a mandate, the public authorities ask the European standardisation bodies to draw up technical specifications of a normative nature that meet "their" requirements

It is not a question of delegating power but of recognising the specific competencies of each operator.
