The new Directive 2014/28/EU of 26 February 2014 “On the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the placing on the market and supervision of explosives for civil use” is largely based on Directive 93/15/EEC and Directive 2004 /57/EU of 23 April 2004, which it repealed. Directive 2014/28/EU entered into force on 20 April 2016.
