Draft EU Product Safety Regulation (GPSR-E) – the main proposed amendments of the European Parliament
On June 30, 2021, the Commission published its proposal for a General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR-E) to replace the existing Directive 2001/95/EC of December 3, 2001 (the so-called General Product Safety Directive). Despite agreeing to reform European product safety law by means of regulation, the Parliament criticized the Commission’s draft in many respects and therefore introduced far-reaching proposed amendments as part of the legislative process at the end of last year.
