 Joint Market Surveillance Action on Lighters II

 JA2011-Fireworks Kick-Off Meeting
The kick-off meeting for the Fireworks Working Group will be held in Brussels on the 25th May 2012 from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Kindly note that only one participant from each Member State participating directly in the Fireworks Working Group will be able to be reimbursed by PROSAFE. There are 12 participating organisations within this activity from the following countries: Belgium (holding the Project Leadership), Bulgaria, Denmark, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and Iceland as associated member.
The first part of the meeting (in the morning) will be attended by the wide range of stakeholders, who will be given an opportunity to make an input to the project, as well as the representatives from the participating Member States. The second part of the meeting (in the afternoon) will be confined to representatives from the participating Member States.
Funding for the project is sufficient to allow for PROSAFE to pay the travel and subsistence expenses of only one representative to the meeting from each participating Member State. Funding will be in accordance with the current PROSAFE rules on this issue.

 Corrective Actions Guide
PROSAFE has issued a revised Corrective Actions Guide in the framework of the EMARS II project. If you are a producer or distributor of consumer products on sale in the European Union (EU), this Guide endeavours to provide general advice about what you should do if you have evidence that one of your products is unsafe.
