EU market surveillance: how can we close the gap between rules & reality ❓
While the 🇪🇺 has a strong legal framework for market surveillance, enforcement is struggling to keep pace with today’s market realities.
Digitalisation, global supply chains and the rise of e-commerce make it harder to detect and stop non-compliant products, especially from non-EU sellers operating online.
At the same time, limited resources and uneven enforcement across Member States create an unlevel playing field for businesses that comply with EU rules. We call for:
✅ stronger and more consistent enforcement
✅ better coordination between authorities, including customs
✅ simpler, more coherent rules
✅ increased investment in enforcement capacity.
Without such reforms, the EU risks falling behind a rapidly changing market landscape.
