Commission Report 2002 (Slovakia)

Chapter 23: Consumers and health protection

Alignment of legislation is continuing, although some outstanding legislation still needs to be transposed. Implementation of the measures under the Action Plan concerning completion of the establishment of market surveillance and enforcement authorities is largely on track. The administrative structures are in place and it now needs to be ensured they effectively fulfil their market surveillance function up to and beyond accession in an evolving legislative environment. Overall, the Accession Partnership priority in the area of consumers and health protection has been met to a considerable extent. Implementation of measures under the Action Plan is on track.
