Amendment 66 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) In order to guarantee the free movement of products within the Union, it is necessary to ensure that they fulfil requirements providing a high level of protection of public interests such as health and safety in general, health and safety in the workplace, protection of consumers, protection of the environment, intellectual property rights and public security. Robust enforcement of these requirements is essential to the proper protection of these interests and to create the conditions in which fair competition in the Union goods market can thrive. Rules are therefore necessary on market surveillance and on controls of products entering the Union from third countries.
