Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 3 lays down the requirement that consumer products must be safe and that Member States market surveillance authorities must take action against dangerous products as well as exchange information to that effect through the Union Rapid Information System RAPEX.

Directive 2001/95/EC needs to be revised and updated in light of the developments related to new technologies and online selling, to ensure consistency with developments in Union harmonisation legislation and in standardisation legislation, to ensure a better functioning of product safety recalls as well as to ensure a clearer framework for foodimitating products hitherto regulated by Council Directive 87/357/EEC 4. In the interest of clarity, Directives 2001/95/EC and 87/357/EEC should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.
