(BSG)
The project is establishing a cooperation and information network for non-food products. Effective cooperation and quick information flows among the agencies are to prevent the import and re-import of unsafe products. Concrete steps are taken primarily in the area of electric household appliances, which constitute a pestering problem in all participating countries.
This does not only enhance consumer safety, but also helps to protect the closely integrated economies of the Baltic Sea area from distorted competition. Manufacturers who do not adhere to European safety standards are able to produce at lower costs. Not only does this place unsafe products on the markets of the Baltic Sea area; in addition the resultant distortions of competition affect all economic actors.
