The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) supports the European Commission’s initiative to evaluate and revise the EU Textile Labelling Regulation (TLR). The revision presents an important opportunity to enhance legal certainty, ensure policy coherence and leverage opportunities to harmonise, digitise and support innovation. EBCA would like to take the opportunity to further explain and elaborate on our position with five key recommendations.
EBCA welcomes the UCC reform proposal and view it as an important contribution to ensuring a harmonised approach towards protecting the Single Market from unfair competition and promoting trade. We welcome the goal of the proposal to streamline customs procedures by increasing digitisationm to eliminate unnecessary administrative burdens and to contribute to the smooth functioning of the Single Market.
The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a targeted revision of the Waste Framework Directive (WFD).
The signatories of this statement would like to highlight several concerns regarding the Council’s general approach (adopted on the 22nd of May) and the European Parliament’s Position (adopted on the 12th of July) on Article 20 of the proposed ESPR Framework.
The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a legislative initiative on the Textile Labelling Regulation (TLR) and is in favour of this revision, as it represents a significant step towards harmonisation.
The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a legislative initiative on the substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (also known as the Green Claims Directive).
