WEEK AHEAD WITH ECR GROUP

Toy safety

14th - 18th December 2009

With Christmas approaching, MEPs will be interested in a European Commission statement on toy safety, particularly after a study was published in Germany which showed that some toys may contain 'CMR compounds' which can be carcinogenic or mutagenic. There is concern that the recent Toy Safety Directive does not sufficiently protect against exposure of children to CMR compounds. ECR chairman of the parliament's consumer protection committee, Malcolm Harbour, was a strong supporter of the Toy Safety Directive and he will support calls to tighten it if it reduces the risk or exposure to children.

Statement: Monday evening

Welcome note

Welcome to the website of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group in the European Parliament.

In July 2009, the ECR was formed by eight political parties who share the common goals of opposition to Euro-federalism and of fundamental reform of the European Union to make it more accountable, transparent and responsive to the needs of the people.

This website is intended to provide you with information about our work and our political priorities, and to provide you with an opportunity to let us know your views.
