LEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1. FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE
1.1. Title of the proposal/initiative
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on market surveillance of products
1.2. Policy area(s) concerned in the ABM/ABB structure[42]
Title 2 – Enterprise - Chapter 02 03: Internal market for goods and sectoral policies
Title 17 – Health and consumer protection – Chapter 17 02: Consumer policy
1.3. Nature of the proposal/initiative
The proposal/initiative relates to the extension of an existing action
1.4. Objectives
1.4.1. The Commission's multiannual strategic objective(s) targeted by the proposal/initiative
Internal market for goods and sectoral policies: to improve the functioning of the single market and to achieve a high level of protection of consumers, other users and other public interests;
Security and citizenship – consumer policy.
1.4.2. Specific objective(s) and ABM/ABB activity(ies) concerned
ENTR specific objective: To continually review existing internal market acquis and propose new legislative or non-legislative action whenever appropriate.
SANCO specific objective: To consolidate and enhance product safety through effective market surveillance throughout the Union
1.4.3. Expected result(s) and impact
Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
The expected result of this initiative is to improve the framework of the market surveillance which is still fragmented in the Union. This proposal amalgamates the provisions of the Regulation 765/2008/EC and of the General Product Safety Directive regarding the market surveillance into one single piece of legislation covering products in both the harmonised and non-harmonised acquis, regardless whether they are destined for use, or are likely to be used, by consumers or professionals. This proposal will have an impact on economic operators and national authorities who will be better informed on their obligations regarding market surveillance actions. The proposal will also enhance the protection of consumers and other users of products through more effective enforcement of product-related requirements.
1.4.4. Indicators of results and impact
Specify the indicators for monitoring implementation of the proposal/initiative.
- Number of notifications regarding unsafe products in the GRAS-RAPEX information system;
- % of RAPEX notifications entailing at least one reaction (by other Member States
- Ratio number of reactions / number of notifications (serious risks)-
- Volume and quality of data exchanged the general information support system ICSMS,
- Number and results of joint market surveillance actions,
- Work- and resource-sharing.
- Product safety enforcement indicators (budgets, inspections, laboratory tests, measures taken etc.)
1.5. Grounds for the proposal
1.5.1. Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term
The general objective of this initiative is to improve the functioning of the single market and to achieve a high level of protection of consumers, other users and other public interests through the reduction of number of unsafe or non-compliant products.
1.5.2. Added value of EU involvement
Despite the existence of the single European market, the enforcement of product safety requirements is the Member States' competence. Due to the existing differences in the national organisation of market surveillance in the Member States and to the interdependence of the national market surveillance authorities, problems still appears. The EU has the right to act on the basis of Article 114 TFEU, in order to ensure the proper functioning of the single market for consumer products and to increase the efficiency of cross-border market surveillance. Article 169(1) of TFEU complements this right to act. It stipulates that in order to promote the interests of consumers and to ensure a high level of consumer protection, the Union shall, amongst others, contribute to protecting the health, safety and economic interests of consumers. However, in order to comply with the subsidiarity principle, this proposal does not affect the competence of the Member States to carry out procedures and actions against concrete products posing risks.
1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
Although the EU has achieved the Single Market and the free movement of goods is the most developed and best established of the four freedoms making up the internal market, there are still things to be done. Public health and safety in the workplace, protection of consumers, protection of the environment and other public interests may be undermined due to some traders who do not comply with the law and place on the market dangerous products. Market surveillance is meant to be an answer to all these issues. Nevertheless, market surveillance has not kept pace with developments in the Union regulatory framework. It needs to be highly coordinated and capable of reacting rapidly throughout EU. It is true that progress has been made with the implementation of the General Product Safety Directive and with the Regulation 765/2008/EC, but the fragmentation of market surveillance rules among different pieces of EU legislation (the General Product Safety Directive, the Regulation 765/2008/EC and many sectorial directives) has led to confusion of both economic operators and national authorities and to a reduced effectiveness of market surveillance activity in the Union. Therefore, this proposal for a single, self-standing market surveillance regulation would be essential to tackle these problems.
1.5.4. Coherence and possible synergy with other relevant instruments
This initiative is entirely coherent with the acquis on the free movement of goods, in particular Directive 2009/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the safety of toys, Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), Directive 2006/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the harmonisation of the laws of Member States relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits, Directive 2009/142/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 relating to appliances burning gaseous fuels.[43]
This proposal is also coherent with the accompanying proposal for a Regulation on Consumer Product Safety which will replace Directive 2001/95/EC on General Product Safety.
The proposal creates synergies with regard to the notification of unsafe products and of safeguard measures under sectoral legislation which in the future will need to be notified only once under the revised RAPEX system.
1.6. Duration and financial impact
Proposal/initiative of unlimited duration
1.7. Management mode(s) envisaged
X Centralised direct management by the Commission
X Centralised indirect management with the delegation of implementation tasks to:
· X executive agencies
· ¨ bodies set up by the Communities[44]
· ¨ national public-sector bodies/bodies with public-service mission
¨ persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions pursuant to Title V of the Treaty on European Union and identified in the relevant basic act within the meaning of Article 49 of the Financial Regulation
¨ Shared management with the Member States
¨ Decentralised management with third countries
¨ Joint management with international organisations (to be specified)
If more than one management mode is indicated, please provide details in the "Comments" section.
Comment:
This initiative does not require new budgetary resources but will be financed through redeployment of existing resources. Some actions will be managed by the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers (EAHC): In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for Executive Agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community programmes[45], the Commission has entrusted[46] the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers with implementation tasks for the management of the Programme of Community Action in the field of Consumer policy for 2007-2013. The Commission may therefore decide to entrust the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers also with implementation tasks for the management of the Consumers Programme 2014-2020, which, once adopted, should be the legal basis for procurement and grants in the field of product safety. The envisaged programme delegation will be the extension of tasks already externalised to the EAHC.
Furthermore, this initiative does not require additional budget resources for the costs related to the management, maintenance and adaptations for both IT systems, i.e. GRAS-RAPEX and ICSMS, compared to those already included in the operational budgets of DG SANCO and DG ENTR proposed for the MFF 2014-2020.
2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The future market Surveillance Forum (EMSF) will be the platform for discussions regarding the proper implementation of the future regulation.
A final provision also proposes that the Commission makes an evaluation and drafts a report regarding the implementation five years after its entry into force. This should identify possible problems and shortcomings of the Regulation and could be the starting point for further actions, including a possible proposal to amend it, in view of further improvement of market surveillance framework.
2.2. Management and control system
2.2.1. Risk(s) identified
Risks relating to the proper functioning of RAPEX (e.g. increase of number of notifications diverting attention from really dangerous products or reducing its credibility; IT-related probems such as breakdown of the system, confidentiality issues).
The risks related to the functioning of ICSMS relate mainly to IT-related probems such as a possible breakdown of the system and confidentiality issues.
2.2.2. Control method(s) envisaged
The control methods envisaged are laid down in the Financial Regulation and Rules of Application.
2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures.
The Commission must ensure that the financial interests of the Union are protected by the application of preventive measures against fraud, corruption and other illegal activities, by effective checks and by the recovery of amounts unduly paid and, if irregularities are detected, by effective, proportionate and dissuasive penalties, in accordance with Regulations (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95, (Euratom, EC) No 2185/96 and (EC) No 1073/1999. In addition to the application of all regulatory control mechanisms, the competent Commission services will devise an anti-fraud strategy in line with the Commission's new anti-fraud strategy (CAFS; adopted on 24 June 2011) in order to ensure inter alia that its internal anti-fraud related controls are fully aligned with the CASF and that its fraud risk management approach is geared to identify fraud risk areas and adequate responses. Where necessary, networking groups and adequate IT tools dedicated to analysing fraud cases related to the Consumer Programme will be set up. In particular a series of measures will be put in place such as:
· decisions, agreements and contracts resulting from the implementation of the Consumer Programme will expressly entitle the Commission, including OLAF, and the Court of Auditors to conduct audits, on-the-spot checks and inspections;
· during the evaluation phase of a call for proposals/tender, the proposers and tenderers are checked against the published exclusion criteria based on declarations and the Early Warning System (EWS);
· the rules governing the eligibility of costs will be simplified in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Regulation.
· regular training on issues related to fraud and irregularities is given to all staff involved in contract management as well as to auditors and controllers who verify the beneficiaries' declarations on the spot.
