Is the legislative proposal for the Green Claims Directive now withdrawn or not? In Brussels, a possible from the planned Green Claims Directive-the European Commission’s anti-Green Washing Act-is currently causing considerable ambiguity. While speculation is speculated about the future of the directive, numerous organizations require clarity and a decisive approach from the EU.

The European Textile Association Euratex promptly reacted to the latest developments: “Euratex welcomes the commission to reduce bureaucratic stress-especially for smaller companies. At the same time, our companies need a stable and reliable EU framework,” says a current statement. However, the announcement from last Friday for the Green Claims Directive triggered uncertainty. Euratex therefore calls for a “quick and clear statement about the next steps”. Improvisation should have no place in the event of regulation and its implementation.

The European Consumer Association Beuc is also alerted. In a letter, the organization emphasizes the European Commission not to withdraw Green Claims Directive. The law is essential for trust and transparency on the European internal market. In addition, the association emphasizes that preparations for implementing the directive have been going on for years. A withdrawal would not only destroy the previous progress, but also the trust of consumers: undermine and endanger Europe’s pioneering role in sustainability.

Various NGOs react in a joint explanation: ‘Don’t stroke the Green Claims Directive!’ The NGOs concerned are ECOS, Clientearth, Carbon Market Watch and the European Environmental Office. Greenwashing will continue without an ambitious agreement. The NGOs state that the withdrawal of the law is extremely unusual and violated the regular legislative procedure.

“The Green Claims Directive should clarify for consumers: inside and companies. Instead, the European Commission and some members of the European Parliament have donated confusion,” said: E spokesman: In the NGOs in the explanation. The political decision -makers: Inside, the legislative procedure would have to respect, together with the negotiators: search for a solution inside and release this decisive law. Every day without this guideline, EU citizens add further damage inside, the environment and the internal market. Consumers: Interior and companies drove in a sea of ​​Greenwashing, while the political decision -makers: argued on the inside of the lifeboat.
