As part of the support program provided by the European Union to assist candidate countries in implementing legal and administrative reforms, the Ministry of Commerce officially launched the "Product Safety in E-Commerce" project in mid-2024. The first concrete step of this project was the issuance of the "Regulation on Market Surveillance and Inspection of Products Supplied Through Remote Communication Tools" on October 30, 2024.

This regulation, set to come into force on April 1, 2025, finds its legal basis in the Product Safety and Technical Regulations Law No. 7223 and the Framework Regulation on Market Surveillance and Inspection. Strengthening the administrative, financial, and technical infrastructure of the competent authorities responsible for implementing this legislation remains a priority on the Ministry of Commerce's agenda.1
