Today, the EUTA welcomes the new proposal for a Regulation on General Product Safety (GPSR), which aims at strengthening consumer protection by ensuring that only safe products are sold on the EU internal market.
The proposal creates a modernised safety net for harmonised and non-harmonised products and more consistency within the EU in the way market surveillance authorities cooperate. We perceive the GPSR as an important element to complete modernisation of the EU product safety legal framework.
The EUTA has submitted feedback to the Commission as a reaction to the consultation on the proposal.
