Possible new labelling requirements and new technologies
The Commission's report should also assess the feasibility of harmonising care labelling requirements (currently voluntary), an EU-wide uniform size labelling system for clothes, social and ecological labelling, the indication of allergenic substances, and flammable clothing.
Finally, Parliament also stressed the need to assess how new technologies, such as micro-chips or radio-frequency identification (RFID), could in future be used instead of traditional labels to convey information to consumers.
Next steps
The agreement will be put to a plenary vote in Strasbourg in May.
