EU Commissioner: new regulations will guarantee the authenticity of the green labeling of products

Didier Reynders, during the debate at the plenary session of the European Parliament on the protection of consumers against unfair labeling during the green transition and the provision of more effective information, emphasized that since there is a large number of misleading labeling nowadays, in the future the claims on the labels should be submitted to the manufacturer and the they have to prove it as a distributor.

The new EU directive will strengthen the reliability of voluntary sustainability labeling systems by requiring public authorities to check them, he underlined.
