Commission Report (2002): Latvia
Progress in alignment with the acquis has been achieved especially
concerning market surveillance. However, further efforts are needed to align
with the acquis concerning safety and non-safety measures. As regards the
effectiveness of administrative structures, progress was made as required by
the Action Plan in terms of training for employees of the Consumer Rights and
Protection Centre, the setting up of several regional offices as well as
public awareness-raising. It is now necessary to intensify post-market
control to ensure consumer safety both in the country and in the future
enlarged internal market. More efforts should be devoted to enforcement
issues and continued strengthening of the administrative capacity of the
testing laboratories as well as the Consumer Rights and Protection Centre and
its regional offices. Therefore, the Accession Partnership priorities in the
area of consumers and health protection have been partially met.
Implementation of the measures under the Action Plan is largely on track.
