EFTA countries which are contracting parties to this Agreement may, therefore, issue comments concerning drafts notified by European Union Member States. Switzerland may also issue such comments on the basis of an informal agreement on the exchange of information in the field of technical regulations.

(7)  Article 6.4 of the Directive requiring Member States to postpone the adoption of the notified draft for twelve months from its reception by the Commission if the latter announces its finding that the draft concerns a matter which is covered by a proposal for a directive, regulation or decision presented to the European Parliament and the Council.

(8)  The Agreement on the European Economic Area (see footnote 4) lays down the obligation for EFTA countries party to this Agreement to notify draft technical regulations to the Commission.

(10)  The only type of reaction provided for under the Agreement on the European Economic Area (see footnotes 4 and 8) is the possibility that the European Union issues comments. The same type of reaction may be issued with regard to notifications from Switzerland on the basis of the informal agreement between the EU and this country (see footnotes 4 and 9).
