The expedited procedure should be applied for making amendments to the technical regulation of the Union in terms of specification (uniform application) of its provisions in case of any issues with individual provisions.

"To speed up the possibility of using modern standards to apply the EAEU technical regulations, lists of standards may in exceptional cases be amended under the expedited procedure, without public discussion or review at the meeting of the advisory committee, including in case of approving interstate standards in accordance with their development programs," Director of the EEC Department emphasized.
