On 6 March 2024, the EU published n the Official Journal the first directive to combat greenwashing, which was adopted by the EU legislation institutions in February 2024 and will enter into force in 20 days, i.e. on 26 March 2024. Member States now have 24 months to implement the new rules into their national law. This means that the new directive has to be implemented into national law by the Member States by 27 March 2026 and will become binding on 27 September 2026. The new Directive aims to ban greenwashing and misleading product information, in line with EU’s objectives regarding circular, green, and clean economy. It would apply to voluntary explicit environmental claims and environmental labelling schemes, which are not regulated by any other EU acts, such as Regulation (EC)No 66/2010 (EU ecolabel), Regulation (EU) 2018/848 (organic products), Regulation (EC)No 1221/2009 (Community ecomanagement and audit scheme (EMAS)), or the future regulation establishing an EU certification framework for carbon removals. It is important to follow how Member states will adopt such rules. Stay tuned!

EU Environment Ministers have agreed the wording for a proposal to tackle greenwashing, marking a significant milestone in European environmental policy. At the heart of the proposal is the requirement for prior verification of all explicit environmental claims by third-party experts before publication. This includes statements about carbon emission compensation, ensuring that companies' green claims are backed by the latest scientific evidence. The directive also addresses the issue of carbon offsetting transparency, mandating companies that use carbon credits to provide detailed information and disclose the percentage of total emissions offset. This approach aligns with and builds on the February 2024 ban on misleading "generic" environmental claims. The proposal also includes provisions for SMEs and microenterprises, such as a simplified procedure for certain claims and additional compliance time. This agreement sets the stage for negotiations with the European Parliament, which adopted its own text in March, with the ultimate goal of empowering European consumers to make informed, eco-friendly choices. The impact on both businesses and the public is likely to be substantial, potentially ushering in a new era of environmental communication and consumer trust. #EUlaw #Greenwashing #EUPolicy #EnvironmentalRegulation
