2026 International Symposium

Companies operating across the EU and US face a changing product safety landscape shaped by e-commerce growth, cross-border supply chains, enforcement capacity constraints and evolving liability risks. This session will examine how EU and US authorities, businesses and experts can advance a more coherent global baseline for product safety while supporting transatlantic trade. Through practical examples involving online sales, imports, recalls, market surveillance and emerging technologies, speakers will explore where EU and US approaches converge, where they differ, and what each jurisdiction can learn from the other. The discussion will also consider how current and future EU policy developments can strengthen consumer protection while preserving proportionality, legal certainty and opportunities for businesses of all sizes.
