11/23/2007

BRUSSELS - China has made "considerable progress" in cracking down on the export of dangerous toys and other products after a string of major recalls, the European Union's consumer affairs chief said yesterday.

Consumer Protection Commissioner Meglena Kuneva also proposed measures for EU business and governments to reduce the risk of dangerous goods entering the market.

"In this world you cannot give 100 percent guarantees. But you can make sure the system is fit for the purpose," she said.
