Product Safety in Foreign Trade

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the Ministry of Trade states that, since the entry into force of the Product Safety and Technical Regulations Law No. 7223, the Ministry of Trade has received numerous allegations, through its representations abroad, through the media or by way of individual complaints, that our exported products are non-compliant or unsafe. The letter further states that these allegations, some of which include the findings of the competent authorities of the countries to which exports were made, are increasing day by day, that this casts doubt on the quality
and safety of our export products and seriously damages the image of Turkish Goods abroad.

The letter goes on to state that each allegation continues to be examined through exchanges of information with the competent bodies and relevant parties,
and that, as a result of the examinations, the sanctions set out in the relevant legislation will be applied where deemed necessary.

Detailed information is attached for your interested members.
