Legal frameworks

Why is compliance with EU regulations necessary for future trade with companies from the EU?

The European Union (EU) regulatory frameworks are essential for facilitating economic exchange between companies from third countries and the EU, as they establish standards ensuring compliance with high European norms regarding product and service safety, environmental impact, and social responsibility. These frameworks promote transparency and trust in business processes, protecting both the European market and third-country markets, along with their consumers, from risks associated with non-compliant business practices. As the EU increasingly prioritizes sustainability and responsible business conduct, regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent, demanding strict adherence to rules on emissions, corporate social responsibility, economic practices, and product safety. Beyond regulatory compliance, significant emphasis is placed on reporting of the manufacturing processes and their environmental impact. This increases compliance requirements and can cause additional burdens for businesses, requiring specialized knowledge and additional human resources.

Which companies can make advantage?

Consulting services related to EU regulations and business compliance can be highly beneficial for many companies, and some of the business sectors include:

Manufacturers of chemical products – These companies must comply with stringent EU regulations such as REACH and CLP, which cover chemical safety, labelling, and risk assessment. Consulting services assist them in adapting their processes and documentation, reducing risks, increasing customer trust, and facilitating easier access to the European market.
Energy sector – With an increasing focus on reducing CO2 emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources, electricity producers must comply with requirements such as the CBAM regulation, which promotes cleaner industrial production.
Metal industry – Iron and steel manufacturers face new upcoming requirements related to reporting emissions generated during production, which will further increase export costs based on the classification of the production process. Aligning production with these regulations and ensuring proper reporting will have a significant impact on the competitiveness of these products from third countries, within the EU.
Fertilizer production – Companies that produce fertilizers must comply with strict standards regarding chemical composition, environmental sustainability, and product safety.
Producers of electronic equipment – Given regulations such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment, manufacturers and exporters of electronic equipment to the EU must comply with this and similar standards to ensure successful trade with EU partners.
Logistics and transportation companies – With new regulations on emissions reduction and sustainability in transportation, compliance with EU regulations such as *Fit for 55* and CO2 emission standards is necessary to ensure long-term competitiveness and efficient operations in the EU market.
Automotive industry – Given the increasing requirements related to CO2 emission reductions and manufacturing standards, automobile and auto parts manufacturers exporting their products to the EU must comply with European regulations.
Food and beverage industry – Companies exporting food products to the EU must comply with strict European food safety standards, such as HACCP, product labelling, quality control standards, and others.
