The Cabinet approved a decision on the unified requirements concerning the designing of the market surveillance general plan and sector programs. The approval of the unified requirements is stipulated in the law on market surveillance and in other legal acts that refer to product safety, IPN reports.

The sector programs will stipulate the financial, technical and other types of resources allocated to the authorities that think these up. There will be specified the mechanisms of coordination between different authorities for ensuring the non-admission of noncompliant products to the market. The sector programs will contain information about the planned activities aimed at improving market surveillance at national level and specific intervention initiatives, for example, by categories of products, categories of risks and types of users.

Based on sector programs, the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure will work out the market surveillance general plan and will publish it on its website by December 31 this year.
