In the absence of more specific legislation on the issues covered by its provisions, Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 will apply at the same time, with, and as a complement to, existing legislation. Similarly, Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 is based on the lex specialis principle, providing that this Regulation applies insofar as there are no specific provisions with the same objective in Union harmonisation legislation, which regulate in a more specific manner particular aspects of market surveillance and enforcement (Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020). Where existing legislation contains similar provisions as the Regulation, the corresponding provisions will have to be examined on a one to one basis to determine which is the most specific.
