Wednesday 11 May 2011P7_TC2-COD(2009)0006

Position of the European Parliament adopted at second reading on 11 May 2011 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No .../2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of fibre composition of textile products and repealing Council Directive 73/44/EEC and Directives 96/73/EC and 2008/121/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

(As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011.)

Wednesday 11 May 2011ANNEX

Joint Statement by the European Parliament and the Council

The European Parliament and the Council are mindful of the importance of providing accurate information to consumers, in particular when products are marked with an indication of origin, so as to protect them against fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading claims. The use of new technologies, such as electronic labelling, including Radio Frequency Identification, may be a useful tool to provide such information while keeping pace with technical development. The European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission, when drawing up the report pursuant to Article 24 of the Regulation, to consider their impact on possible new labelling requirements, including with a view to improving the traceability of textile products.
