More action needed to remove unsafe products and services from EU market
To better protect consumers, MEPs will address the issue of products that contain dangerous chemicals, have unsafe software, or pose other safety hazards.
The debate will take place on Monday and the vote on Wednesday.
In the draft resolution, MEPs emphasise that all products circulating within the EU must comply with product safety rules – whether manufactured inside or outside the EU – in order to assure fairer competition between companies, guarantee traceability, and provide reliable product information to consumers. If rules are not respected, products and services must be recalled from the EU market, MEPs insist. They were also particularly concerned that online platforms and marketplaces take proactive measures to tackle misleading practices.
Procedure: Own-initiative procedure
Debate: Monday, 23 November
