               1.
            
            
               Is Article 7(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 (1) to be interpreted as meaning that it is mandatory to clarify that the product is a pure textile product exclusively composed of the same fibre?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Is use of one of the three terms mentioned in Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, namely ‘100 %’, ‘pure’ or ‘all’, mandatory or is this merely an option, and not an obligation, for such products?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               Does the obligation under Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 to label a textile product or to mark it with the name and percentage by weight of all constituent fibres also apply to pure textile products coming under Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011?
            
         
      (1)  Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2011 on textile fibre names and related labelling and marking of the 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 (OJ 2011 L 272, p. 1).
