Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package on 7 May

Representatives from DGs ENTR and SANCO gave a presentation on the proposals for a regulation on consumer product safety and a regulation on market surveillance of products. These proposals answers in many ways  the problems raised by IMCO.
 
Ms Pietikäinen is positive with the provisions aimed at strengthening the administrative cooperation, but would like to see better standardisation of customs controls at entry points into the EU internal market and would also be interested in seeing a gradual empowerment of EU institutions on market surveillance and would like to look into possibilities of using third party testing of certain products.
Ms Schaldemose is generally positive and is especially happy that the market surveillance provisions have been compiled in one legal instrument, but also see room for improvement; there is a need for a reference to the precautionary principle, vulnerable consumers need to be sufficiently protected, safety by design should be looked into and the CE-mark needs to be revised in some way. Ms Schaldemose pointed out that the country of origin marking is first and foremost a traceability measure and was generally positive towards it. Both Rapporteurs believes a pan-European injury and accident database would be a big step forward in focusing market surveillance and standardisation the right areas.

Velkomst
 
 

Det indre marked og dets frie bevægelighed for personer, varer og tjenesteydelser er en af EU’s absolutte grundpiller. Det har bragt Europas borgere og virksomheder velstand og vækst, beskæftigelse, mobilitet og valgfrihed.
 
I Udvalget om det Indre Marked og Forbrugerbeskyttelse mener vi, at borgerne skal stå i centrum for det indre marked. Det er vor opgave at sikre, at folk kan slå sig ned overalt i EU for at arbejde, studere eller starte en erhvervsvirksomhed.
 
Vi vil sørge for, at forbrugerne kender deres rettigheder og føler sig trygge og beskyttede, når de køber varer i EU, hvad enten det er i deres lokale forretninger, eller det sker online på tværs af grænserne.
 
Vi ønsker at skabe klare regler for erhvervslivet og at gøre livet lettere for små virksomheder, samtidig med at deres markedsmuligheder med hensyn til tilvejebringelse, salg eller levering af tjenesteydelser udvides.
 
Udvalget om det Indre Marked og Forbrugerbeskyttelse tog initiativ til akten for det indre marked for at give nye impulser til det indre marked, og vi er fortsat fast besluttede på at gennemføre forslagene i akten så hurtigt som muligt. Kun et velfungerende indre marked kan sikre vores velstand og konkurrencedygtighed i verden i de kommende årtier.

Formand for Udvalget om det Indre Marked og Forbrugerbeskyttelse
