— In the current situation, the Commission intends to retreat its proposal for green declarations, comments Maciej Berestecki, the Commission’s press secretary.
The Environmental Claims Directive was proposed in March 2023 and aims to preventing companies from misleading consumers groundless claims that their products and services are good for the planet.
This decision, announced only 1 working day before the last circular of negotiations with EU countries and MEPs to scope agreement, means that EU will not ask companies to supply verified information to support their environmental claims.
— The European Commission has the right to a legislative initiative, but also to be withdrawn After self-evaluation of the legislative process, said Stefan de Keersmaecker, another Commission spokesperson.
On Wednesday, POLITICO reported that the centre-right European People's organization had sent a letter to Jessica Roswall, Commissioner for the Environment, asking the EU executive body to retreat its proposal. The EPP announced that will not support any agreement resulting from the negotiations. We besides informed on Tuesday that the Commission was considering withdrawing another green law, which requires countries to monitor the state and forest degradation.
The Commission's withdrawal of the legislative proposal is very different and only happens if legislators are incapable to find consensus or if the Commission considers that the compromise is not in line with the first thought of the draft.
