"I did not support the amendments in the Manders report on textile names and related labelling of textile products regarding ‘made in’ (47/49, 48, 12 and 67). These amendments, which seek to impose origin marking for textile products imported from third countries (with the exception of Turkey and the EEA Member States) or to regulate precisely the conditions of voluntary origin marking of textile products manufactured in Europe by means of this regulation, would amount to endangering the adoption, within a reasonable timescale, of this important legislation. The proposal for a regulation on origin marking put forward by the European Commission is still under discussion in the Council and is the subject of a report by the Committee on International Trade.
I am not against transparency and traceability of products for the benefit of the consumer. Nevertheless, as Members of the European Parliament, we have a responsibility to respect certain regulatory frameworks. In my opinion, before adopting the mandatory ‘made in’ indication on the labels of clothes sold in Europe, we should have first made sure that the draft regulation on ‘made in’ labelling included all the necessary guarantees, in particular, in its methods of implementation."@en1
