  1. UNECE 8th MARS group meeting Follow-up of Market Surveillance sampling procedure – contacts with PROSAFE 6 & 7 October 2010 - Bratislava I. Hendrikx V1 2010-10-04

  2. Contents of this presentation • History of contacts with PROSAFE • Current PROSAFE work • Some observations • Possible way forward

  3. 1. History of contacts with PROSAFE • 2007: first contact with PROSAFE • December 2009: meeting in Brussels with PROSAFE representative and discussion on possible co-operation in market surveillance field • April 2010: presentation of the work of UNECE to PROSAFE management team in Malta • UNECE proposed sampling procedure was discussed

  4. 1. History of contacts with PROSAFE • July 2010 UNECE Stockholm meeting: • Meeting agreed to ask data to ICSMS for checking the sampling procedure: up to now NO reaction of ICSMS (!) • September 2010: PROSAFE suggests to cooperate with UNECE in their ‘lighters’ project so to check the sampling procedure • But…. issue is finding funds to collaborate with the PROSAFE lighters project

  5. 2. Current work of PROSAFE • 4 interesting tasks that may be relevant for UNECE • Task A that develops guidelines for applying the best practices book to all different sorts of products and processes. Sampling is of course one of the activities to consider. • Task B that develops guidelines for running joint actions. Again, sampling is one issue to consider.

  6. 2. Current work of PROSAFE • Task C works with risk assessment methods. PROSAFE will organize a risk assessment seminar during the European Product Safety week last week of November. The Risk Assessment Seminar will be 3rd of December. • Task F is about continuous improvement. It would also include activities to continue the development of market surveillance procedures (e.g. sampling).

  7. 3. Some observations • The number of “stakeholders” participating to the Malta PROSAFE was 1 (one). • Does PROSAFE have a policy for stakeholder participation ? • PROSAFE management recognizes the importance of the appropriate use of data in MS actions (statistics – clear procedures)

  8. 5. Possible way forward • Co-operation of UNECE MARS with PROSAFE seems possible, but still it is not happening so far… • Does anyone has any idea how to proceed?
