Economic Operators. 3.1.1. Specific obligations of economic operators pursuant to the legislation under Section I Pursuant to the legislation under Section I, economic operators established in the EU or Switzerland are subject to equivalent obligations. In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of obligations:
Economic Operators. With regards to economic operators, it is important that firstly they always try to cooperate with market surveillance authorities in order to reduce any risks present in the market. Consequently, it is strongly suggested that European organisations representing economic operators are encouraged to participate in joint market surveillance activities such as those coordinated by PROSAFE. ENPC has been quite active in this project and participated directly in a number of the CCA working group meetings. This bodes well for the future and so it is recommended that more European organisations representing businesses, manufacturers, importers and traders in their respective areas continue to co- operate further and take part in such joint actions. Ultimately, healthy dialogue between all of the various stakeholders could help to identify further possible safety issues in this area and also lead to joined up working finding practical solutions on the best way forward.
Economic Operators. Although the CCA Working Group had-delete invited various external stakeholders to take part in this project, representing business and economic operators at European level, only one European Organisation actually attended a number of the CCA meetings. This was ENPC, the European Nursery Products Confederation. The CCA working group had good cooperation with ENPC throughout the project. The results of this project show that economic operators need to be more aware of the hazards and risks associated with baby bathing products. Although there is no relevant European standard in place at this moment in time, it is very clear that product information is of particular importance on such products. Therefore, healthy discussions between all of the various stakeholders could help to identify further possible initiatives in this area so that the best way forward can be taken together.

Consequently, it is strongly suggested that European organisations representing economic operators are encouraged to participate in joint market surveillance activities such as those coordinated by PROSAFE. Indeed, the level of voluntary action taken by economic operators imply that there is already a good working relationship. Similar to previous joint actions on childcare articles, ENPC has also been quite active in this project and participated directly in a number of the CCA working group meetings. It is recommended that more European organisations representing businesses, manufacturers, importers and traders in such projects. Indeed, there has also been a positive indication within this project since other European organisations, such as EuroCommerce, are starting to express their interest in participating in these projects. Ultimately, healthy dialogue between all of the various stakeholders could help to identify further possible safety issues in this area which in turn could lead to an even safer European Single Market.
