d1e2696-1-1__para__2
In some product areas, Union harmonisation legislation foresees certain economic operators with specific tasks and who must be established in the Union, for example authorised representatives, whose appointment by the manufacturer is generally voluntary, with the exception of medical devices (85) and marine equipment (86). These can no longer be established in the UK and must be established in the Union.
