欧洲联盟敦促中国确保产品对欧洲消费者是安全的。欧盟负责卫生和消费者保护事务的专员梅格莱娜.库内娃星期一在北京会见中国国家质检局负责人李长江时做出了以上呼吁。库内娃说，她了解到中国方面正在改进市场监督，但还必须作出更多的努力，防止危险产品的出口。

欧洲联盟对中国出口的小型电器用品、玩具、和其它出口商品表示过关注。去年，若干巴拿马人因服用的药品含有用于制造防冻剂的一种化学品而死亡之后，西方国家开始对中国生产的药品质量产生忧虑。

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.
