Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Market surveillance activities should be thorough and effective, to ensure that Union harmonisation legislation on products is applied correctly. Given that controls may represent a burden for economic operators, market surveillance authorities should organise and conduct inspection activities, taking their interests of those operators into account, and limiting the said burden to what is necessary for the performance of efficient and effective controls. Furthermore, market surveillance activities should be performed with the same level of care by the competent authorities of the Member State irrespective of whether non- compliance of the given product is relevant on the territory of that Member State or is likely to have an impact on the market of another Member State.
