The European Parliament Passed A New Example Of Textile Labeling.

In May 11, 2011, the European Parliament passed a new example to stipulate that clothing sold in the European Union must be specified on the label if any animal derived material is used. This stipulation is designed to ensure that consumers can distinguish genuine or artificial fur and leather products.

In addition, the European Parliament asked the European Commission to complete the study before 2013 to explore the health effects of potentially harmful chemicals in textiles.

According to the proposed regulation, textile labels must clearly indicate whether the products contain animal origin.

Initially, the European Parliament also suggested that products imported from third countries should be enforced mandatory with labels of origin.

The proposal was rejected by some member countries.

The Council agreed to request the European Commission to submit a report on the feasibility of the origin label scheme.

The plan aims to provide consumers with accurate information about the origin, so as to ensure that the source of textiles can be traced back.

In addition, the European Parliament has asked the European Commission to carry out feasibility studies on the following:

To harmonization of nursing labeling regulations, the current regulations are voluntary in the European Union; the uniform dimensional labeling system for clothing should be established and implemented throughout the European Union; the sensitized substances in textiles should be marked.

The European Commission should also assess whether there is a causal relationship between allergic reactions and chemicals in textiles, such as coloring agents, biocide and nanoparticles.

The proposed regulation on textile labels is passed at the next meeting of the Council and has the opportunity to be published in the official communiqu of the EU in the second half of this year, and will take effect 20 days later.
