Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Believes that it is necessary to find an agreement between the Member States on establishing minimum European standards for products which affect the healthy development of the population (such as orthopaedically sound footwear for children). Such standards would ensure not only that the quality of goods manufactured in the EU is maintained, but also and above all that the quality of goods imported from third countries is significantly improved; calls therefore on the Commission and the European standardisation organisations, in the light of the findings of scientific studies showing that there is a link between orthopaedically unsound footwear and the increasing occurrence of orthopaedic defects amongst the populations of EU Member States, to establish European standards in this area;.
