What is the state of play of the voluntary agreement on toy safety?
Commissioner Kuneva has invited the toy industry to sign a voluntary agreement to boost toy safety. This is intended to be implemented in two phases: the first step, which should be concluded by the end of May, will focus on the major toy manufacturers and is aimed at harnessing their expertise in the area of training and education. The second part, which is to follow in the second half of 2008, will address other important players – in particular, importers and distributors.
