Key points:

While welcoming the Commission's work, the EESC:

  • again reiterates the importance of ensuring that products lawfully marketed in one Member State can be marketed without hindrance throughout the EU;
  • considers that the new PED must be applied, while respecting the principle of proportionality, especially for smaller companies and for non-standard or limited-series products;
  • considers it important to have more efficient and universal market surveillance and greater equivalence between the levels of competence of notified bodies;
  • calls for implementation of the new PED to be monitored;
  • considers that more weight should be attached to the indicators collected by RAPEX, in order to monitor the reduction in the number of non-compliant products on the market and improvements in the quality of conformity assessment services.
