The Commission evaluation of Directive 2009/48/EC concluded that that Directive is relevant and generally effective in protecting children. However, it also identified a number of deficiencies that have emerged during the practical application of that Directive since its adoption in 2009. In particular, the evaluation identified certain shortcomings with regard to possible risks arising from harmful chemicals in toys. The evaluation also concluded that many non-compliant and unsafe toys remain on the Union market.
