BRUSSELS - The Euratex textile industry trade body says it has broadly welcomed and will support the European Union’s proposed move to revise current textiles labelling regulation.
Euratex says that while the current regulation, No 1007/2011, has delivered its overarching objectives, namely providing useful information to the consumer on the properties of the textile products, in the light of technical progress, societal changes and the evolution of the regulatory framework for textiles following the adoption of the EU strategy for sustainable textiles, a revision is necessary to ensure regulatory coherence.
