A new General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) came into force on Monday across the European Union (EU), with the aim of ensuring the safety of all consumer products on the market. of the union, says the European Commission.

This regulation, which applies to non-food products, whether sold in stores or online, provides consumers with a “real safety net” guaranteeing product safety and protecting risks that are not regulated by other EU legislation, explains the Commission in a press release.

The new rules are intended to respond to major societal changes that have impacted the safety of consumer products over the past two decades, such as increasing digitalisation, the evolution of new technologies and the globalization of supply chains, says the EU executive.

“Through this modernized framework, only safe products will be offered to consumers, regardless of the origin of the products and whether they are sold in stores or in online marketplaces,” the statement said.

The new regulation integrates key elements such as the scalability of a product or its interconnectivity into the safety assessment of consumer products, while setting specific product safety requirements for online marketplaces .

Likewise, the text extends the obligation, for all non-harmonised products imported into the EU, to have an economic operator in the EU responsible for product safety issues, in addition to improving the effectiveness of recalls of products by requiring the establishment of direct contacts for consumers and standardized recall notices.

The player is the Englishman Lee Roche, a graduate of the Manchester United Academy, who was promoted in a number of matches to represent the team under the supervision of coach legend Alex Ferguson.

During the Champions League season 2003-2004, and following Manchester United secured qualification from its group, Ferguson involved a reserve squad once morest Deportivo La Coruna, Spain, and Roche got the signal to participate in the meeting, and he is the only one in which the player appeared in the European Champions.

After a number of transfers in the ranks of small English clubs, Roche was forced to retire at the age of 27 due to the lack of opportunities he had in the world of football.

Although his start was promising, as the Manchester United Academy was the strongest in Europe in the early 2000s and legends such as Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and David Beckham emerged from it, Roche was not at the same level as hoped.

The newspaper “Mirror” published the story of the former English player, who has now gone to work in the field of plumbing, and also owns a small company that installs insulation systems and maintains homes.

Roche confirmed that he stopped talking regarding his career with the “Red Devils” team, because the questions do not stop during work.

Employees of online delivery services or driving service brokers should be better protected in the EU. A majority of member states voted in favor of such a law on Monday. According to the will of the EU states, anyone who meets three out of seven criteria will be considered an employee in the future. These include limited opportunities to refuse work and rules for the behavior of workers.
