7.3.2 国家市場監視戦略

Member States are required by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 to draw up a national market surveillance strategy at least every four years. This strategy should be overarching, considering all sectors covered by Union harmonisation legislation and all sales channels and stages of the supply chains. On the basis of an assessment of compliance, market trends and emerging technological developments, it should identify priorities for enforcement.

The purpose of the strategies is to promote a smart and evidence-based approach to enforcement, to concentrate resources on priorities and to identify necessary capacity building for new challenges. They enable the identification of needs for increased cooperation between market surveillance authorities, and with the authorities in charge of the control on products entering the Union market.

The strategies should also allow other Member States to understand how and in which areas market surveillance will be carried out. The EU product compliance network will exchange expertise and best practices regarding the implementation of national market surveillance strategies. It will also evaluate the strategies, allowing to identify overlaps, synergies and gaps, particularly at the Union level.

To allow the strategies to take account of and to include sensitive information, they are only shared between Member States’ authorities and the Commission. This also applies to the results of the review and assessment of the market surveillance strategy that Member States need to undertake. Member States have to publish a summary of the market surveillance strategy to inform the public of their activities.
