| Description: |
This note comments on the history of legislative reform relating to consumer product safety at the EU level. It highlights the role of standardization within a co-regulatory approach and the practical dimension of enforcement. Reform proposals at the EU level as well as potential future UK developments are considered in the light of responses to new technology. The degree of future alignment between the UK and EU systems is considered. The overall assessment is that product safety has been a success story within the EU and can still be seen as a win-win-win story for business, consumers and states. |
