An assessment of the Swedish market surveillance 2010-2013
According to EU Regulation 765/2008 on market surveillance, all member states in the EU must periodically, at least every fourth year, review and assess their market surveillance. The member states are expected to provide an overall picture of the activities carried out in their own countries and report on how the market surveillance functions in different sectors. This entails detailed statistics on budgets, staff, number of inspections, product related accidents, complaints, non-compliant products, voluntary measures taken by economic operators, sanctions etc. Member states are further expected to report on communication activities and market structures within the different sectors.
