Market surveillance is an essential instrument inasmuch as it ensures the proper and uniform application of Union law. Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 sets out the framework for market surveillance of products subject to Union harmonisation legislation, including toys. Since this Regulation replaces Directive 2009/48/EC, the rules on market surveillance and controls on products entering the Union market set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1020, including the specific requirement set out in Article 4 of that Regulation that toys are to be placed on the market only if there is an economic operator established in the Union responsible for the tasks specified in that Article, continue to apply to toys. Member States should therefore organise and carry out market surveillance of toys in accordance with that Regulation.
