Emars is a project of PROSAFE: Product Safety Enforcement Forum of Europe
Objective
To further enhance the market surveillance of non-food consumer products in Europe. This is to be achieved through the practical application of the best practice developed under the current EMARS project and the development of additional best practices. The project also seeks to further capitalise on the improved climate for collaboration amongst national market surveillance authorities that the current EMARS project has contributed to. EMARS II will provide a framework for closer collaboration within which future joint actions and coordinated activities on specific products and other market surveillance related issues can be identified.
Specific Goals

Developing a more rigorous and systematic approach to the identification and execution of joint actions
Promoting a more consistent approach to market surveillance through the development of best practice and a training programme for market surveillance officials in the field of consumer product safety
Ensuring adequate liaison between market surveillance authorities and standards development
Improving collaboration with Customs officials through networking opportunities and the identification of best practice
Improving operational level collaboration with relevant enforcement authorities outside the EEA
