歐洲聯盟敦促中國確保產品對歐洲消費者是安全的。歐盟負責衛生和消費者保護事務的專員梅格萊娜.庫內娃星期一在北京會見中國國家質檢局負責人李長江時做出了以上呼吁。庫內娃說，她了解到中國方面正在改進市場監督，但還必須作出更多的努力，防止危險產品的出口。

歐洲聯盟對中國出口的小型電器用品、玩具、和其它出口商品表示過關注。去年，若干巴拿馬人因服用的藥品含有用于制造防凍劑的一種化學品而死亡之后，西方國家開始對中國生產的藥品質量產生憂慮。

The European Union is urging China to ensure its products are safe for European consumers. EU Consumer Commissioner Meglena Kuneva made the appeal Monday during talks in Beijing with Li Changjiang, Minister of the General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Kuneva acknowledged China is working to improve its market surveillance, but said more still must be done to prevent dangerous products from being exported.

The EU has expressed concern about Chinese-made small electronics, toys and other exported goods. Western consumers first raised concerns about Chinese-made drugs following the deaths last year of several people in Panama who had taken medicine contaminated with a chemical used in anti-freeze.
