"The review of the directive is intended to unify and harmonise standards which apply to consumer goods, and which currently overlap and differ on the subject of market surveillance.
In a globalised world where we are witnessing the movement of goods and people, there is a growing need to implement systematic checks on saleable products.
Particular attention should be paid to products arriving from third countries, where hygiene and health standards, production processes, and the use of materials not permitted in Europe, carry the risk of contaminating items that end up on our tables or in our hands.
In particular, we need to test children’s toys for toxic substances as they often put them in their mouths; all the more now because in virtually all cases, the toys are made in China, a country unfortunately renowned for its low production costs and poor quality control. Of particular interest is traceability, which is useful for stopping the movement of products that might not be safe for consumers."@en1
