Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) The indication of origin supplements the basic traceability requirements concerning the name and address of the manufacturer. In particular, the indication of the country of origin helps to identify the actual place of manufacture in all those cases where the manufacturer cannot be contacted or its given address is different from the actual place of manufacture. Modern business processes regarding the purchasing and processing of materials are such that the indication of the country of origin of the finished product is insufficient to provide consumers with full and trustworthy information on the true origin of that product. Indicating the country of origin of the materials used in the product guarantees consumers the right to make purchasing choices in full knowledge of the facts. Such information can facilitate the task of market surveillance authorities in tracing the product back to the actual place of manufacture and enable contacts with the authorities of the countries of origin in the framework of bilateral or multilateral cooperation on consumer product safety for appropriate follow up actions.
