On 17 July 2014, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway submitted a joint comment to the European Commission’s proposals for actions in the field of product safety and market surveillance.

The Commission proposals are part of a package of initiatives outlined in the Communication ’20 actions for safer compliant products for Europe: a multi-annual action plan for the surveillance of products in the EU’. The package also includes proposals for a Regulation on Consumer Product Safety and a Regulation on Market Surveillance.
