Every EU funded Joint Action coordinated by PROSAFE creates multiple impacts on the EU consumers, the economy, the environment, and the market surveillance community itself. Positive impacts range from the development and deployment of new innovative digital tools and good practices in market surveillance to economic, health and safety benefits for consumers and businesses.
EEPLIANT3 conducted a free-of-charge online webinar on 20 January 2022 from 9:00 – 13:00 CET on “How to Conduct Technical Documentation Inspections”.
Scope of action
Support MSAs in the efficient execution of their daily tasks, with the assistance of technology-based solutions and tools.
Objectives
The expected results of Work Package 13 are:
Participants
2 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) are part of this Work Package. They are from 2 Countries: Ireland and Spain.
E-learning is an important tool to ensure that all market surveillance officers have access to good practices in market surveillance. PROSAFE has a number of e-learning courses freely available to whoever is interested to learn more on the various subjects shown below.
Scope of action
Support the identification of good practices for collaboration between EU Market Surveillance Authorities and Customs. Support the organisation and execution of joint border controls.
Objectives
The main objective of Work Package 12 is to further strengthen or obtain collaboration with customs authorities with the aim to improve market surveillance effectiveness in relation to ecodesign (ED) and energy labelling (EL) legislation.
Participants
7 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) and 1 other governmental organisation are part of this Work Package. They are from 7 Countries: Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, The Netherlands, and Poland.
Scope of action
Support the market surveillance inspectors with the increasing challenges they encounter in verifying compliance of regulated products. Challenges range from very simple ones, like obtaining a random specimen for verification testing purposes, to challenges with very large products where traditional laboratory test methods, cannot be applied, market fluctuations, or challenges deriving from the evolution of the ecodesign requirements about resource efficiency, circularity, etc, or the lack of actual market non-compliance rates that are fundamental for designing national strategies and plans and for planning future EU-promoted joint market surveillance actions.
Objectives
Participants
9 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) and 1 other governemental organisation are part of this Work Package. They are from 9 Countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, The Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.
Scope of action
Support the development, organisation, and implementation of capacity-building activities, including training programmes and study visits, and updating the EEPLIANT2 Good Practices Guidelines.
Objectives
The objective of Work Package 10 is to further improve the skills and capacities of European MSAs (including MSAs outside the project consortium, both from EU Member States and from countries outside the EU, associated or not with the EU), through tailor-made capacity-building activities, including specialist training events and material, and study visits.
Participants
10 Market Surveillance Authorities (MSAs) are part of this Work Package. They are from 10 Countries: Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, The Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
