methods for such instruments, the international system for units of measurement and nominal
quantities of pre-packed products. Although progress has been made towards further
alignment, full implementation of the Measuring Instruments Directive has not yet been
achieved.
There was some progress on market surveillance. The Under-Secretariat of Foreign Trade
issued legislation to lay down a common template for market surveillance reports and
notifications. A national surveillance strategy for 2010-2012 has been adopted. The Ministry
of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture published legislation for organisational
aspects of market surveillance activities. The Under-Secretariat’s report on market
surveillance activities in 2009 is a major step towards systematic collection of comparable
surveillance data, even though a number of authorities were unable to contribute basic data.
Market surveillance activities have continued to increase, even though some product
categories deserve more focus, such as civil explosives, detergents, machinery and the nonharmonised
area in general. Financial and human resources devoted to market surveillance are
insufficient; in particular, more full-time specialised inspectors are needed. The use of
appropriate risk assessment and sampling methods, which would help optimise the use of
limited market surveillance budgets, remains limited, as is the evaluation of the effectiveness
of the action taken. There is no database linking accidents and injuries to products. The
visibility of market surveillance remains low. Coordination within and between surveillance
agencies is still deficient, including on use of IT. Stakeholders are not systematically informed
of market surveillance activities and measures and their general involvement in surveillance
remains weak. In particular, consumer organisations need to be supported in order for them to
better understand technical legislation and to use complaint mechanisms more effectively.
Full alignment with the 2001 version of the general products safety directive remains
outstanding. Full and systematic implementation of Regulation 765/2008, setting out the
requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products,
remains to be ensured, including provisions on external border controls.
Alignment of horizontal measures is advanced. However, effective implementation of market
surveillance and adoption of final changes to the legislation on standardisation and
accreditation have yet to be achieved. Furthermore, the new legislative framework on
marketing of products has yet to be adopted in the areas of market surveillance, conformity
assessment procedures, CE marking and accreditation.
Further progress was made on the old approach acquis. The Ministry of Industry and Trade
adopted various pieces of legislation on the type approval of motor vehicles and emissions
from vehicles and tractors. In particular, the Ministry of Trade and Industry published a
regulation concerning the type approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability,
recyclability and recoverability aiming to transpose the related EC Directive on the same
subject. The same Ministry published a regulation and an implementing communiqué aiming
to transpose the EC Regulation on the type approval of motor vehicles with regard to the
protection of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. The Ministry of Health issued an
amending regulation regarding the packaging and labelling of pharmaceutical products for
human use. The same Ministry issued an amending regulation on the pricing of
pharmaceuticals for human use and provisions were adopted on clinical trials. The problem of
protection of regulatory data persists and the authorisation system for generic medicines for
which marketing authorisation was applied prior to 1 January 2005 remains in place. Turkey
is continuing to violate the Customs Union obligations in this area. The Ministry of the
Environment and Forestry issued a regulation on good laboratory practice which is of key
importance for the chemicals sector. The requirements imposed on imports of alcoholic
