Commission Report (2002): Poland
Work is ongoing on the adoption and implementation of secondary
legislation in the field of pharmaceuticals, which was identified in the
Accession partnership as in need of particularly urgent attention, but has
not been completed. Elsewhere the transposition of New Approach directives
and adoption of related European standards continues. Legislation on
standardisation has been adopted The pre-market approval system has been
deleted, considerable further efforts are required to ensure the
transposition and implementation of legislation in the field of foodstuffs,
the rationalisation and reinforcement of the food control administration and
the training of inspectors and food operators as set out in the Action
Plan.
There has been some progress in the transposition and implementation of
traditional sectoral legislation, and legislative progress with regard to the
establishment of a well-functioning market surveillance system although
actions are lagging behind the timetable set out in the Action Plan. First
steps have been taken towards the elimination of outstanding non-tariff
market access barriers. The National Preference Clause for Public Procurement
remains in place. As included in the Action Plan steps have been taken to
implement SIMAP (Public Market Information System). An initial screening of
legislation in the non-harmonised area to ensure that it is in compliance
with Articles 28--30 of the EC Treaty has been undertaken. Overall, the
Accession Partnership priorities in the area of free movement of goods have
been partially met. Implementation of the measures under the Action Plan is
partially on track.
