The EU tests the environmental footprint of foods and feeds

On the markets of the EU, different national methods and procedures (ISO 14044, PAS 2050 etc.) are used, that do not allow the comparison of the performance of the products and the fulfillment of the free market conditions in the EU.

In order to create a standard method, the European Union has released its COM (2013)196 communication on 9 April 2013 over the creating of a unified market for green products. The tool of the green markets is an unified application of an environmental footprint-based approach, based on life cycle approach. The system of the products and services is the PEF (product environmental footprint), while the system of organizations, institutions, businesses is the OEF system (organization environmental footprint).
