"Mr President, if consumers are to be able to make the right choices and bring their might to bear, they must have access to information about products. This report is a first step and means that textiles are to be labelled with their country of origin; in other words, information on where the goods were manufactured. As consumers, we have the right to know that.
Now we also have the opportunity to request that the Commission goes further in providing consumers with greater power. I am thinking, among other things, of care instructions and health and safety warnings. Those with allergies must not have to be exposed to goods containing traces of allergenic substances.
Our citizens often feel that the rules of the internal market give priority to companies and industry. The Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, me included, considers that it is high time that consumers’ requirements were put first. This would benefit not only consumers, but also serious companies."@en1
