The Trade and Industry Ministry Market Inspector (MTI) will not legally punish companies that have introduced thousands of toys into the local market, which, after tests, have demonstrated that they are dangerous to the health of children.
Naim Hajra from the MTI market Inspectorate has told KALLXO.com that legal measures can be taken, unless companies repeat their action and trade with the same products.
The key mass was that we confiscated those goods that were caught as dangerous products. Legal measures will be undertaken if companies still attempt to introduce similar products into the market, then other penal measures” come in, Hajra said, adding that companies have voluntarily delivered the products.
According to Hajra, businesses have indicated that they have not been aware that toys have been dangerous to health.
“Gjoba does not come to the question if there is a seizure of goods, as it is considered to be a fatal penalisation for a business with you missed, but if not seizures, they come in other punitive expressions, all of this is based on the law for Market Inspectorate”, he said.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry, last month, has done the annihilation of about 150,000 harmful health toys.
While the minister of this dictatorship, Andrew Shala, had declared that the analysis of the quality of these products has cost Kosovo's budget about 22 thousand euros.
Meanwhile, MTI official Naim Hajra added that the inspectorate is making stops in customs of goods allegedly failing to meet chemical and technical standards.
Now as a result of that, we're making the preventative -- that is, we're stopping these goods at customs stations -- not allowing them to enter Kosovo, if the same are not associated with the necessary technical documentation that proves the product is safe”, he stressed for KALLXO.com.
Six out of 10 children's toys that have been tested in a Netherlands laboratory have turned out to be dangerous for use, but the same have been imported to Kosovo.
The newspaper Life in Kosovo had provided the results of tests that have been done to certain toys, such as dolls, batteries, set of manicure, guns with cannons, toys, cattle sets, chemical toys (smem), cars, and planes.
