Free traffic of goods on the European market |
With a view to guaranteeing
the free traffic of goods on the European Union (EU) market, the current national regulations
have been changed so that they could comply with the EU general instructions for trade within
the Community and harmonising the legislation of the member countries in connection with the
so called "new and global approach" and regarding the safety and health of people,
protection of environment and information for customers.
BALKANCAR will make its way to the European certification policy strengthening and securing
the free traffic of its industrial products on the EU markets.
BALKANCAR factories are in procedure of evaluating their products conformity with the
requirements of EU general instructions for safety.
The possession of TÜV p.s. GmbH and GOST-R certificates and test-signs for conformity is a
