"I should like to offer my congratulations on the excellent work carried out by Mrs Schaldemose.
Consumers must be guaranteed greater protection from defective and potentially dangerous products. Through this report, we are telling the Commission that we need to review the directive and that we need to strengthen the market surveillance system and have market surveillance which is consistent across the single market.
In order to effectively combat the presence of defective products in the common market, I believe it is vital to improve border controls, especially in ports. I ask the Commission and our national governments to introduce tougher sanctions on imports from third countries that violate safety standards.
Full traceability of products throughout the supply chain is another key point for guaranteeing the ability to withdraw defective products from the market, even as they are being produced. To this end, we must ensure that the border authorities have sufficient resources. Also, I would ask for greater attention to online sales, which are on the increase, particularly sales of those products that can cause direct damage to the consumer, such as pharmaceutical products and food."@en1
