Congratulations! You’ve discovered protectionism and one of its many forms. The worst part is that this type of legislation is preventing east and south european development as well as preventing us companies from entering the eu market. Essentially by forcing endless amounts of standards that cant be met by developing member states due high entry barriers or non member states due to differences in standards the german and french markets are protected.
Oddly enough subpar chinese products are OK. Hint: Germany needs access to china’s markets.
