EU will announce that there will be no ban on playing at present

Sources said that EU member Kurupa, who is responsible for consumer protection issues, will announce at a press conference on the 22nd that: China has achieved a quantum leap in combating the export of unsafe toys. At present, there will not be any Chinese toys banned by the European Union. The data shows that 80% of the toys imported from the EU come from China.

"Beijing Commercial Daily" reported that as early as last July, the implementation of the EU RoHS Directive (on the restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) has already restricted some of China's home appliances, electrical tools and toys exported to Europe. The export of eight categories of products.

Since the recall of 21 million pieces of Chinese-made toys by the world's largest toy manufacturer Mattel, there have been successive requests from EU and US officials to ban the import of “Made in China”. Frequent recall events have brought a number of negative impacts on the Chinese toy manufacturing industry and have also led to a global discount in the confidence of Chinese toys.

A European Commission official said yesterday that according to a report released by the Chinese government, the European Union believes that China has made great progress in combating the export of unsafe toys and there is no need to impose a ban on Chinese toy products. He said that the EU member responsible for consumer protection, Kuneva, will officially announce this news at a press conference on the 22nd.

Starting with local inspections Ten times the world’s largest toy manufacturer Mattel recalled 21 million Chinese-made toys in the past four months, triggering European and U.S. lawmakers to ban imports of Chinese-made products unless The situation is greatly improved. China immediately launched a massive campaign to ban unsafe products and strengthen quality inspections, and submitted reports to Europe and the United States to explain the situation.

"Frankly speaking, we did not expect the Chinese government to give such a positive response," another EU official said. “You can't ban all goods imported from China one by one. It's funny for both the industry and the consumer. If that happens, consumers can only spend more money in the consumer season before Christmas.” The two important measures are to increase inspections by a factor of 10, start local inspections, and cancel thousands of export permits."

Europe and the United States are planning to discuss the construction of a global standard. China now attaches great importance to this matter. Kuneva’s current eyes will be on the EU industry and the 27-nation government, aiming to rebuild confidence in the toy market and ease parents’ concerns before Christmas. “Her report will remind the industry to pay attention to its responsibilities. The manufacturer shoulders arduous burdens, and it is necessary to do first-line defense work,” said the European Commission.

Kuneva is expected to propose the idea of ​​a global toy safety standard. She discussed this idea with relevant US officials earlier this month. Leading toy manufacturers such as Mattel, Hasbro and Hornby also expressed their support for the establishment of new global independent institutions to regulate the market in accordance with new global standards. "The EU has gone before the United States on this matter, so if the United States joins in, it will actually form a global standard and China and all other countries will have to sign the same," the official said.
