Our proposal sets criteria for how companies should substantiate green claims.

It requires them to be independently verified & proven with scientific evidence.

It also includes rules to control the proliferation of environmental labels.

53% of green claims in the EU are misleading or unfounded.

With the Green Claims Directive proposal, we reassure consumers that when something is sold as green, it actually is green.

Reduce, reuse, recycle... repair!

Today we proposed a ‘right to repair’ initiative.

By promoting repairs both within and beyond the legal guarantee, it will:

🔹 reduce waste,
🔹 boost the repair sector and
🔹 make repairs easier and cheaper for consumers. ↓

Noise is not just a nuisance. It is a serious threat to our health.

We've published a report setting out how noise can be further reduced.

It is needed to act more firmly and tackle this underestimated threat to public health.

And we will continue to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most, especially now in the aftermath of the earthquakes.
