<p>The Government’s engagement with businesses and organisations in the UK and internationally
informed the decision to continue CE recognition of goods on the UK market for regulations
owned by the Department for Business and Trade.</p><p> </p><p>The government continues
to engage with industry, both domestically and internationally. Businesses and trade
associations repeatedly expressed significant concerns with the duplicative costs
for placing goods on EU and UK markets, and the lack of business-readiness for compliance
with mandatory UK Conformity Assessment, which potentially may have resulted in product
shortages in GB or increased costs to GB consumers. Extending CE recognition will
help in mitigating these challenges.</p>
