Vol. 415 No. 8
175 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he has satisfied himself that our system of notification of dangerous products is sufficient to meet the needs of the completion of the internal market in view of the increasing trans-border trade that will take place following the completion of that market; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The Deputy will be aware that both the Department of Health and my Department operate the Community System for the Rapid Exchange of Information on dangerous food and non-food products respectively. Both my colleague, the Minister for Health, and I are satisfied that the system protects consumers from serious and immediate risk to their health and safety. I am conscious that the system is particularly vital given the freer movement of products in the internal market.
