I've never understood why some people think that the solution to people not following the rules can be solved by creating more rules. Studies have shown the the vast majority of non-compliances are lack of understanding low risk rules and not anything that would really hurt someone. They put out 100 page Directives followed up by 1000 page Guides to explain the 100 page Directives and still people do not know what is required for Compliance. Manufacturers have no direct interface with the rules makers. We cannot ask questions or ask for clarifications so we know how to do the little things correctly. Then we and our products are judged by third party inspectors who wildly interpret the requirements to serve their interests and the manufacturer has no other action than to bow to their self proclaimed authority. One of the documents uses the tirm "interlocutor", which was a new one on me, so I looked it up. "a man in the middle of the line in a minstrel show who questions the end men and acts as leader." Sounds like the Three-Stooges to me. Yuck Yuck. Last Friday I got an email from Amazon Web Services offering me a job as a "Senior Hardware Compliacne Manager". Now it all makes sense. Smile people. Retirement is not that far off.

Yes, John, it looks like a new type of economic actor is defined to account for Amazon type companies, but it also constrains everyone else. One of the interesting points is a requirement to indicated the REA (responsible economic actor) on the product (or in documents etc...). The REA has to be an EU person (real or legal). I'm still digesting it, but given a 2 year transition time frame, confusions of what to do with it in the EU are going to nicely get tangled with Brexit impacts. I see a lot of interesting tangles and confusions down the line.

It looks like a move to regulate Amazon and similar sources. At present, in the UK at least, there is little surveillance of goods ordered in small quantities by members of the public, with the exception of medication and some medical products.
