Recognises that the CE marking remains a pillar of the New Legislative Framework and a sign of European competitiveness; asks that the Commission, before speculating about discontinuing and replacing the CE marking, carry out impact assessments and in-depth consultations, partly to explore alternative solutions for reducing the risk of counterfeits. At the same time, to ensure the DPP does not inherit the same shortcoming, calls for data carriers – in particular QR codes and equivalent tags – to incorporate technical safety features commensurate with the likelihood of that goods category being counterfeited; examples of such features include protective optical elements, clone-proof codes, secure RFID/NFC tags and anti-tampering labels, in order to certify the origin of the data, thwart duplication and enhance market surveillance for the sake of sustainability and consumer protection. |
