Whereas:
(1) According to Article 16 of the Agreement on Mutual Recognition concluded between the European Community and the United States of America(1), hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement", a Party may suspend its obligations under a Sectoral Annex.
(2) The United States of America has failed to fulfil its obligation under the Agreement, in particular with regard to procedures to be followed for the recognition of Conformity Assessment Bodies designated by the Community.
(3) This has led to a situation where Conformity Assessment Bodies designated, or to be designated, by the Member State Designating Authorities cannot be assessed, monitored and recognised as envisaged by the Agreement.
(4) As a consequence, the Community has lost market access with regard to conformity assessment for its products covered by the Sectoral Annex for Electrical Safety.
(5) It is also considered that the United States has failed to maintain legal and regulatory authorities capable of implementing the provisions of the Sectoral Annex for Electrical Safety, in particular as it relates to the reliance of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on the on-site assessment carried out by Member State Designating Authorities of the Conformity Assessment Bodies located on their territory.
(6) The Community and the United States have held, in accordance with the third sentence of Article 2 of the Agreement, numerous consultations without leading to a satisfactory solution.
(7) The Commission will continue consultations with the United States under the Agreement, with a view to ensuring that the Sectoral Annex for Electrical Safety can be implemented in accordance with its provisions,
The Community obligations under the Sectoral Annex for Electrical Safety of the Agreement on Mutual Recognition between the European Community and the United States of America are hereby suspended in whole.
The President of the Council is authorised to designate the person empowered to send, on behalf of the Community, the annexed note to the United States of America.
At the latest three years from the date of transmission to the United States of the note mentioned in Article 2, the Commission shall present to the Council a report on the state of play of the consultations with the United States and, if appropriate, a proposal for a Council Decision repealing this Decision.
This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
