". – I am aware, Mr Whitehead, that this is an issue in which you have a particular interest and it has been an issue which you and my services have consulted on for some time. But it is an issue which is being dealt with by DG Enterprise and my colleague, Mr Liikanen.
The Commission has recently been questioned on the safety of associated products, often consisting in a toy accompanying the food product in a separate background. In the light of the information collected by the Commission in cooperation with national authorities, the Emergency Committee of the General Products Safety Directive reached on 16 May 2000 the conclusion that no specific danger relating to the associated product has been identified. Non-food items, particularly small toys, or toys containing small parts are not risk-free. However, the risk would depend on the characteristics of the non-food product itself.
The existence of a possible risk has convinced the Emergency Committee to explore the need to reinforce the existing instruments, particularly the protection offered by Directive 88/378 on safety of toys and the related standard EN 71/1. The competent services of the Commission are currently working on possible improvements."@en1
