Recital 4

(4)The essential requirements laid down in Directive 1999/5/EC which are relevant to fixed-line terminal equipment, i.e. to ensure the protection of health and safety of persons and of domestic animals and the protection of property and an adequate level of electromagnetic compatibility, are appropriately covered by Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁶ and Directive 2014/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁷ . This Directive should therefore not apply to fixed-line terminal equipment.
