Description
The JRC published an official methodology document on defining DPP data requirements under the ESPR framework. This is non-binding technical guidance but is directly relevant for companies designing DPP data models and IT architecture, as it addresses approaches for specifying information requirements and associated implementation concepts referenced in ESPR/DPP planning. (The research text includes timing language within the PDF, but no new binding obligations are established by this document itself.)
