3. DG Enterprise and Industry Automotive Industry Unit 3 Stakeholders recommendations: CARS 21 final report: "Checking the products on the market"  need to improve/strengthen the implementation & enforcement of EU type-approval legislation by complementing it with market surveillance provisions  products not conforming to requirements and/or dangerous for safety or environment, as well as counterfeits, should be identified, and being prevented to enter the EU market or withdrawn when found on the market  current legal provisions on the recall of vehicles and automotive products should be enhanced to ensure that they will be properly enforced  exchange of data between type-approval authorities on the application of the safeguard clauses set out in type-approval legislation should be streamlined  necessary provisions should be adopted at EU level to ensure that products holding a UNECE approval are actually in compliance with the relevant UNECE requirements.  In addition, a parallel process should take place within UNECE to consider improvement of the current provisions in the 1958 Agreement Market surveillance developments in 2012/2013

4. DG Enterprise and Industry Automotive Industry Unit 4 European Commission's response: CARS 2020 Action Plan for the EU automotive industry: "Smart regulation"  a revision of the procedures for the surveillance of the automotive products placed on the EU market is needed, in order to make sure that vehicles are safe and citizens can fully trust the regulatory framework put in place  this will contribute to establishing a level playing field among all actors and to increased trust of consumers in effective product regulation, while limiting administrative burdens  comprehensive and consistent application of principles of smart regulation will be ensured, integrating an in-depth assessment of the impacts on industry, society and other stakeholders, notably the associated costs and benefits  these principles will ensure that the legislation will be well-targeted and cost-effective.  Commission will propose to enhance the type-approval framework to include provisions for market surveillance in areas where a need has been identified, to ensure that vehicles and their components are safe and compliant with relevant legal requirements, and that the relevant policy objectives are achieved Market surveillance developments in 2012/2013

5. DG Enterprise and Industry Automotive Industry Unit 5 European Commission's response (continued):  Market surveillance provisions already introduced in the revised type-approval legislation for vehicles of categories L (motorcycles) and T (tractors)  Fitness check study on the type-approval legislation for vehicles of categories M,N & O: (1)Market surveillance is an important missing element in the current type approval legislation. It is identified as an important tool to address the presence of non-compliant products and to complement the ex-ante type approval system. (2)The recall system needs to be clarified, in particular to ensure that vehicles recalled in one Member State be recalled elsewhere. At the same time, the current safeguard procedures should be addressed.  Proposal to amend EU type-approval legislation for vehicles of categories M,N & O to include market surveillance provisions for early 2014  No support in WP.29 informal group on IWVTA to include market surveillance provisions in the revised 1958 Agreement Market surveillance developments in 2012/2013
