Towards pragmatic and harmonised labelling in the EU: A joint call from manufacturers to prevent Single Market fragmentation and preserve competitiveness

EBCA, together with the undersigned organisations, urge the European Commission and Member States to adopt a pragmatic approach for the future harmonised packaging labels, in line with the EU’s agenda for the EU Single Market, simplification and competitiveness. The system should rely on text-free pictograms, available in achromatic or monochromatic versions matching the packaging palette, with the possibility of using digital labelling as a core element.
