Market surveillance to be reformed and harmonised
Extensive legislative amendments related to market surveillance will enter into force in April. The amendments will modernise market surveillance to correspond to the changes in the operating environment of companies, such as more complex supply chains and online sales. The reform will update market surveillance to comply with the EU Market Surveillance Regulation.
Government proposes a new law on clothing and shoe labelling to satisfy EU rules
The EU already requires that footwear and textile products clearly indicate what material the item is made of. The Government now proposes to Parliament legislation based on the EU Market Surveillance Regulation, which would specify companies’ obligations related to labelling of materials. The proposed law also enables the imposition of penalty payments for incorrect or deficient labelling.
