About the event

The background

 

Brussels picture

Recent events, such as the continued rise in RAPEX notifications and the European Commission’s stocktaking exercise, recognising the issues relating to managing open markets and responding to globalization, have shown that product safety needs an international approach. 

 

The two-day conference will provide an excellent opportunity to take stock of the present situation and provide a clear path forward.
