Food Would Get Ecolabel In Future Under Itre Amendment

摘要

Food would be subject to an EU ecolabel, but in the future, under an amendment that the European Parliament's Industry, Research and Energy Committee has approved.rnThe amendment, which nevertheless aims to exclude food for now, will be put to the lead Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Committee for discussion and a vote next week.rnGreek centre right MEP Nikolaos Vakalis, who wrote the ITRE opinion, explained in the explanatory memorandum that covering only therntransport, processing and packaging of processed foods would "create severe inconsistencies and confuse consumers."
