MEP Cyrus Engerer has been entrusted by the Environment Committee of the European Parliament to lead negotiations on a legislative act which will introduce a robust system to verify voluntary Green Claims made by companies on the European market.
In comments provided following his appointment MEP Engerer stated that he is grateful for the opportunity to lead the work on this important piece of legislation in the European Parliament which will seek to fight Greenwashing across Europe. Engerer said that in the face of the Greenwashing phenomena we need to ensure that consumers are provided with all the tools necessary to make informed decisions about their purchases and that genuine companies also have the tools to differentiate themselves form free riders. He further explained that his work on this legislative act will focus on establishing ambitious EU rules which will remove misleading claims from the market and ensure that companies provide substantiated evidence behind their environmental claims.
MEP Engerer is expected to present his Report on this legislative act in the coming days and negotiations with the rest of the political groups in the European Parliament are set to start in the weeks to come.
