Recital 20
(20) Ensuring product identification and the traceability of products throughout the entire supply chain helps to identify economic operators and to take effective corrective measures against unsafe products, such as targeted recalls and product destruction. Product identification and traceability thus ensure that consumers and economic operators obtain accurate information regarding unsafe products which enhances confidence in the market and avoids unnecessary disruption of trade. Products should therefore bear information allowing their identification and the identification of the manufacturer and, if applicable, of the importer. Manufacturers should also establish technical documentations regarding their products for which they may choose the most appropriate and cost- efficient way such as by electronic means. Moreover, economic operators should be required to identify the operators who supplied them and to whom they supplied a product. Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data18 is applicable to the processing of personal data for the purposes of this Regulation.
