07 May 2015

(From ec.europa.eu )

The proposed Consumer Product Safety Regulation contains a provision of the indication of the product's country of origin. An analysis was conducted to assess the potential costs and benefits of origin labelling to national authorities, consumers, and businesses.

The study aims to address the questions that emerged in the context of interinstitutional discussions on the Consumer Product Safety Regulation.

It focuses on six groups of consumer products:

  • toys;
  • domestic appliances; electronic goods (consumer electronics);
  • textiles;
  • footwear;
  • ceramics.
