The world is fast changing and it is important to highlight the emergence of a globalized market both for products and services. Globalization has put pressure not only to developing countries but even to economies in transition.
Together with globalization are developments in regional cooperation and an increasing number of regional free trade agreements. These dramatic changes in world trade combined with increased global concerns for health, life and safety protection of the environment have affected the needs of consumers and have altered as well the regulatory and standards landscape.
