    Review of EU Legal Acts

    General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

    The General Product Safety Regulation overhauls the existing framework for consumer product safety in the EU. It broadens the scope to include online marketplaces and modernizes safety requirements for products sold both online and offline. The regulation emphasizes preventative measures, enhanced market surveillance, and stricter rules for product recalls. Key changes include a greater focus on emerging technologies, such as AI, and the need for manufacturers to conduct thorough risk assessments. It is designed to ensure that all products available to consumers in the EU are safe and compliant with harmonized standards.

    Digital Services Act (DSA)

    The Digital Services Act introduces groundbreaking rules for online platforms, particularly large ones, to address illegal content and ensure user safety. It mandates greater transparency in content moderation, enhanced protection for users against illegal content, and strict obligations for very large online platforms (VLOPs) to assess and mitigate systemic risks. The DSA also includes provisions for cooperation between member states and the EU Commission to enforce the rules, holding platforms accountable for the content they host and disseminate.

    Regulation on deforestation-free products

    This regulation aims to minimize the EU’s contribution to global deforestation and forest degradation. It prohibits the placing or making available on the EU market of specific commodities (such as soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, and rubber) if they are linked to deforestation after a cut-off date. Companies must exercise due diligence to ensure that their products are deforestation-free and comply with relevant laws of the producing country. The regulation establishes a benchmarking system to assess the risk of deforestation associated with different countries and regions, allowing for targeted enforcement.

    AI Act

    The AI Act establishes a legal framework for artificial intelligence, categorizing AI systems based on risk. It prohibits AI systems that pose unacceptable risks (e.g., manipulative or discriminatory practices). High-risk AI systems used in areas like healthcare, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure are subject to strict requirements, including conformity assessments, transparency obligations, and human oversight. The act aims to promote innovation while safeguarding fundamental rights and ensuring that AI systems are safe, trustworthy, and respect ethical principles.
