Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

This article is entirely new, introducing a requirement for Member States to prioritise market surveillance activities for PPE listed in the implementing act referenced in Article 41a(1), with the Commission facilitating coordination through the Union Product Compliance Network.

It also adds a duty on market surveillance authorities to make best efforts to assist other such authorities during an internal market emergency mode, including through expert teams or logistical support such as reinforced testing capacity for the listed PPE.
