The Government launched a public consultation on Commission Proposals for a new Internal Market package of complementary measures (Proposals for a Regulation and a Decision) that have been designed to strengthen and modernise the conditions for the marketing of a wide range of products in the EU.
The consultation was designed to gather views on the proposals themselves in order to better inform the UK Government’s position in the negotiations in the Council and elsewhere. The consultation opened on 9th March 2007 and closed on 1st June 2007.
Background:
The Consultation featured two separate proposals that need to be considered in parallel. The first is a Regulation on Accreditation and Market Surveillance which when adopted will have direct effect in Member States; the second is a Decision that covers conformity assessment procedures, the notification of conformity assessment bodies and CE marking. When adopted it will not have direct effect in Member States, but will set a formal framework for all new European legislative proposals in this area. The proposals, together, aim to improve the free movement of goods within the EU by streamlining existing mechanisms for the circulation of safe goods and meet Better Regulation principles by facilitating a risk-based approach.
