EU official: Stop product safety finger-pointing

China should pay more attention to its product safety supervision network rather than apportioning blame for recent problems, European Commission director general for enterprise and industry Heinz Zourek told deputy quality inspection chief Wei Chuanzhong on Wednesday. Zourek, on an official visit to Beijing, said that efforts should be
made in improving safety, efficient communication and safety alert
systems rather than allocating blame, the South China Morning Post reported. Wei assured Zourek that the government was taking the issue seriously. The Chinese government, has suggested that the product safety controversy has been driven by opportunist foreign media and protectionist agendas in some countries.
