According to the news of the European Parliament website,

European Union

The clothing sold must be labelled as mandatory, so that consumers will not be mistaken for the product from the European Union because of clothing labels. In fact, consumers purchase products originating in third countries.

At present, the EU's country of origin is labelling voluntarily, but in fact, the use of the label is mainly based on the national laws of various countries.

In contrast to the EU, the United States, Canada and Japan have strict regulations on the labels of countries of origin.

The current EU textile label regulation applies only to textile fiber name coordination (in EU single).

Market sales

There are 48 types.

Textile fiber

Among them, 18 natural fibers and 30 man-made fibers) and textile fiber labels.

Although parliament initially asked for a vote only for a technical proposal of the committee, members of Parliament changed it into a more political proposal to make the label of origin in new legislation mandatory.

To help consumers understand shopping, the European Parliament asked the committee to submit a report within two years and a legislative proposal to promote the implementation of new labeling requirements within the European Union (if necessary). The report should include the inspection of nursing labels (now voluntary), clothing and footwear size, health and safety warning (inflammable, potentially allergic substances) and social labels.

Member Toine Manders drafted a parliamentary report on this theme, which was approved by 528 votes, 18 votes against and 108 abstentions.
