These primarily update EU-harmonized rules for type approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled motorcycles, agricultural and forestry tractors, and general motor vehicle safety. Several regulations on preferential rules of origin under the Western Balkans, Bilateral, Pan-Euro-Mediterranean, and Regional Convention cumulation systems were repealed or significantly amended. Additionally, changes were made to the Electricity Market Capacity Mechanism Regulation and various import duty exemption decisions were issued.
