MEP’s clarify CE Markings and import rules

21st February 2008

Parliament has adopted at first reading a key legislative package on the internal market in goods.

The legislation cover a large proportion of products marketed in the EU in more than 20 industrial sectors, including electro-technical products, machinery, radio/telecoms equipment, toys, medical devices, construction products and high speed rail systems. MEPs clarify what is meant by the CE mark and insist that importers must be responsible for the safety of goods they import.

The package consists of two regulations and a decision designed to remove barriers to the free movement of goods while improving consumer safety.
