(29) Several directives harmonising the conditions for the marketing of products specify that the Commission may request the adoption, by the European standardisation organisations, of harmonised standards on the basis of which conformity with the applicable essential requirements is presumed. However, many of those directives contain a wide variety of provisions on objections to these standards when the latter do not, or do not entirely, cover all applicable requirements. Diverging provisions which lead to uncertainty for economic operators and European standardisation organisations are in particular contained in Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 December 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to personal protective equipment OJ L 399, 30.12.1989, p. 18. , Council Directive 93/15/EEC of 5 April 1993 on the harmonisation of the provisions relating to the placing on the market and supervision of explosives for civil uses OJ L 121, 15.5.1993, p. 20. , Directive 94/9/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 March 1994 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres OJ L 100, 19.4.1994, p. 1. , Directive 94/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 June 1994 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to recreational craft OJ L 164, 30.6.1994, p. 15. , European Parliament and Council Directive 95/16/EC of 29 June 1995 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to lifts OJ L 213, 7.9.1995, p. 1. , Directive 97/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 May 1997 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning pressure equipment OJ L 181, 9.7.1997, p. 1. , Directive 2004/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on measuring instruments OJ L 135, 30.4.2004, p. 1. , Directive 2007/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 on the placing on the market of pyrotechnic articles OJ L 154, 14.6.2007, p. 1. , Directive 2009/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of23 April 2009 on non-automatic weighing instruments OJ L 122, 16.5.2009, p. 6. and Directive 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 relating to simple pressure vessels OJ L 264, 8.10.2009, p. 12. . Therefore, it is necessary to include in this Regulation the uniform procedure provided for in Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 on a common framework for the marketing of products OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 82. , delete the relevant provisions in those Directives and extend to the European Parliament the right to object to a harmonised standard in accordance with this Regulation.
