Abstract

This paper examines the present state of Community product safety policy. It shows that important initiatives to extend enforcement practice across borders have come from below and argues that such developments deserve respect from Community policy makers as evidence of responses to real problems. However, the paper argues that the Community needs to build on these existing examples of cross-border co-operation in order to establish a broader product safety policy and � more compelling given the current Community agenda � in order to secure effective market integration. The paper concludes by contending that the development of product safety policy illustrates the shared approach to shaping the Community which should form the model for future progress.
