# Recital (127)

In line with Union commitments under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade, it is 
adequate to facilitate the mutual recognition of conformity assessment results produced by competent conformity 
assessment bodies, independent of the territory in which they are established, provided that those conformity 
assessment bodies established under the law of a third country meet the applicable requirements of this Regulation 
and the Union has concluded an agreement to that extent. In this context, the Commission should actively explore 
possible international instruments for that purpose and in particular pursue the conclusion of mutual recognition 
agreements with third countries.
