EU Market Surveillance Authority
INITIATIVESingle Market Deepening & Harmonisation
To protect consumers and fair competition, the Commission will explore an EU authority that coordinates national enforcers, pools capacity, and targets highest-risk flows. Today, e-commerce accounts for 97% of customs declarations, overwhelming border controls; EU-level governance is needed to act swiftly and uniformly against unsafe, counterfeit, or non-compliant products. Working with the planned Customs Authority and EU Customs Data Hub, it would run joint, risk-based operations and close gaps where national action is insufficient. In tandem, the review of the New Legislative Framework and deployment of Digital Product Passports would provide machine-readable conformity data to boost traceability, speed recalls, and strengthen cross-border enforcement.
