Deleting Articles 40 and 41 means they will no longer apply starting October 18, 2024, potentially impacting rules or requirements previously set under these Articles; organizations will likely need to adapt procedures or policies previously linked to these sections of Directive (EU) 2018/1972.

Articles 40 and 41 will officially be removed from Directive (EU) 2018/1972 on October 18, 2024; until that date, organizations remain responsible for complying with existing obligations described in these Articles and should prepare accordingly for any adjustments required after this change becomes active.

After removal of Articles 40 and 41, organizations currently regulated by these rules may experience changes in related obligations and compliance guidelines, meaning they should closely monitor updated directives or related regulations issued by authorities to ensure continuous compliance and proper adaptation to applicable rules after this date.

While specific replacements for Articles 40 and 41 have not been detailed here, generally when regulations like these are removed, regulatory bodies may introduce alternative frameworks or updated regulations; therefore, organizations should monitor official communications from authorities to remain informed on any new rules emerging after this change.
