Why is it important for us to hold this seminar at the CJF exhibition? Because we want as many industry professionals as possible to participate in the discussion of this serious issue. We talked about certification, product marking, and the fight against illegal turnover of uncertified products. Probably, you may know that every fourth product for children is in illegal turnover today. It is very scary, because these are unpredictable goods. That is, our children contact these products every day. Therefore, our task is to attract attention of the people who are directly involved in production and sales, everyone who is related to the industry of goods for children.

At such meetings, specific tools are developed, the industry receives answers to its questions, and we can adjust our steps in solving the tasks. We receive from the seminar participants clear, working questions that lead us to the most effective solution.
