This chapter contains further information on European Union directives.
A fundamental goal of the European Union is the creation of an Internal market
within Europe and, linked to this, the reduction of trade barriers. In order to
achieve this goal, the European Treaties guarantee "four freedoms":
● Free movement of goods
● Right of establishment
● Free movement of services
● Free movement of capital
Free movement of goods means that quantitative import restrictions on goods
are prohibited between the member states. Goods that are hazardous to the
safety of people or the environment are excluded. Such products can be dis‐
allowed by member states in their sovereign territory.
In order that free movement of goods may also be guaranteed for these prod‐
ucts, the national safety regulations of the member states are harmonised by
means of European Union Directives.
These Directives exist for a range of product classes, such as machinery, med‐
ical products and toys. However, Directives have also been compiled for further
common product safety aspects, such as protection from electricity and explo‐
sion, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
