EBI Regulatory Compass

Practical EU regulatory guidance for the recreational boating industry

EU legislation increasingly affects the day-to-day activities of companies across the recreational boating industry. Understanding which requirements apply, how they affect different parts of the supply chain and what companies need to do in practice can require significant time and specialist knowledge, particularly for SMEs without dedicated legal or regulatory teams.

The EBI Regulatory Compass provides practical, sector-specific guidance to help recreational boating businesses understand and prepare for EU regulatory requirements. Each publication focuses on the issues that matter most to the sector and translates complex regulatory requirements into clear and practical information.

Depending on the regulation, guidance may cover:

• which products, materials and activities are within scope;
• which companies and actors are affected;
• responsibilities across the supply chain;
• key compliance requirements and deadlines;
• due diligence, documentation, reporting and traceability requirements;
• practical steps companies can take to prepare for compliance.

Pricing

The Regulatory Compass combines EBI’s knowledge of the recreational boating industry and EU policy developments with specialised external expertise. Publications are developed, where relevant, together with specialised law firms, compliance experts and other technical specialists. This allows the guidance to address not only what the legislation says, but how it applies specifically to recreational boating businesses.

EBI Regulatory Compass publications are paid, in-depth resources. The price reflects the specialist legal, compliance and sector expertise involved in their preparation and the detailed analysis provided for the boating industry.

Preferential pricing is available for EBI members and for companies and organisations belonging to EBI’s national member associations.

Available guidance

Further guidance will be added as new EU regulatory requirements emerge and the needs of the industry develop.
