Ties between the EU and specific markets in the region are also being solidified through partnership agreements with CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, and through affiliate membership in CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization. CEN’s Partner Standardization Body (PSB) agreements, which some Middle Eastern and North African countries are considering signing, typically have a clause that requires signatories to withdraw conflicting national standards from the market. Israel is considering a partnership agreement with CEN and an affiliation with CENELEC. Egypt and Tunisia are the only other Middle East or North African countries known to have signed a partnership agreement with CEN. Tunisia is also an affiliate of CENELEC. The Department of Commerce cordially invites all interested stakeholders to attend a public meeting on the presence of European standards in the Middle East and North Africa. The meeting is an opportunity for interested parties to provide information and input to the U.S. government on how this trend in standardization affects market access for U.S. goods in the region. Key government officials working directly on this issue from various agencies will be in attendance. Date: Thursday, February 15, 2007. Time: 10 a.m.–12 p.m. Where: U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW.
