EU Consensus On Textile Labeling Bill

In April 20, 2011, the European Parliament and the Council of ministers reached a consensus on the proposed textile names and related labelling proposals proposed by the European Union.

New textile labels will pay more attention to new ones.

It is noteworthy that the members of the European Parliament (MEPs) asked for

However, before the informal agreement, the motion was opposed by individual member states, especially Italy, and the bill of origin label was shelved, but the parliament said it would actively pursue other related bills.

Therefore, the compromise proposal is to make labels for products of "non-woven animal origin products"; non textile including leather and leather.

This tag will help consumers to distinguish the synthesis from the real leather at the time of purchase.

In addition, on the issue of origin labels, the Council agreed that the European Union should hold a review and evaluation process before December 30, 2013 to decide whether the motion is feasible.

The motion (deadline for assessment December 30, 2013) will provide consumers with detailed information on origin and other textile traceability information.

The evaluation report will decide whether or not to legislate according to the conclusion of the evaluation.

Other key points of the committee's report include:

(EU) the possibility of harmonization of nursing label requirements in the European Union;

EU uniform garment size system;

Social and environmental labelling;

• allergy and flammability instructions on clothing;

Whether there is a causal link between allergic reactions, coloring agents, fungicides, nanomaterials and so on.

The European Parliament will discuss the matter again at the Council meeting in May and plate it into other EU official languages in the near future.
