欧洲立法与欧洲标准联接的桥梁——谈欧洲“新方法”下的“委托书”制度

欧盟委托书制度的产生是基于1985年欧盟理事会批准的《关于技术协调与标准新方法决议》。该决议明确规定,欧盟理事会和欧盟委员会负责制定涉及健康、安全等方面的"基本要求",而满足这些"基本要求"的技术标准任务则委托给欧洲标准化组织完成。欧盟委员会与欧洲标准化组织之间的关系依据的是"委托书"制度,可以说,"委托书"是欧洲立法与欧洲标准联接的桥梁和纽带。本文概述了委托书的基本概念、类型、内容等,阐述了委托书的桥梁和纽带作用。

A Bridge to Connect European Legislation and European Standards——On Mandate System within the Framework of EU New Approach

The formulation of EU mandates is guided by a resolution on New Approach to Technical Harmonization and Standards approved in 1985 by European Council,which explicitly stipulates that European Council and European Commission are responsible for the development of"basic requirements"related to health and safety,etc,while European Standards Bodies are entrusted to develop technical standards that satisfy these"basic requirements".The relationship between European Commission and European standards bodies is governed by mandate system.Thus,mandates serve as a bridge and a link that connects European legislation and European standards.This thesis outlines the basic ideas about mandate,such as the type and content of mandate,and also states the roles that mandate can play within the framework of EU new approach.
