New regulations on Consumer Product Safety & Market Surveillance were adopted by the European Parliament on 15 April 2014 before discussion with the Council of the EU; they will replace the current EU General Product Safety Directive adopted in 2001. They should create a coherent approach to product safety and market surveillance leading to lower compliance costs for economic operators. The thing that remains unclear is the impact on insurance pricing of the new regulations in terms of the number of future claims and the coverage of insured companies against the cost of a corrective action and the liability for product defects.
