CEC’s comments on the mandatory labelling of origin in the Consumer Product Safety Regulation proposal
The European Confederation of Footwear Industry welcomes the requirement of mandatory labelling of origin in all products commercialised in Europe, as introduced by article 7 of the Consumer Product Safety Commission Regulation proposal.
Such information will provide relevant added value to European market surveillance authorities as well as to consumers while promoting our industry, at a negligible cost and insignificant administrative charges other than those already existing for the product identification.
