RASFF annual report: 2019/2020
Compared to 2019, the number of alert notifications, implying a serious health risk of a product circulating on the market, rose by 22%. The increase in alerts is significant for the sixth year in a row.
The sharp decline in border rejection notifications (-30%) is most probably reflecting the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on global trade more than on the controls carried out themselves.
