Concluding remarks
Objective of Market Surveillance is to protect
consumers as well as provide useful information
and recommendations to consumers as well as
entrepreneurs – economic operators – all persons
involved in the process of products introduction
into the market. In order to get one functional
internal market we must work jointly and learn
from each others.
