EU executive kills anti-greenwashing bill ahead of final talks - Euractiv

The European Commission said on Friday it would axe a law designed to outlaw unfounded claims about the environmental or climate friendliness of companies or their products, in line with a demand from the centre-right European People's Party.

The law was long opposed by business groups, who complained of increased administrative work, and faced hefty fines if caught 'greenwashing'

    So often have I heard national lobbyist and politicians say 'we are not against fines, but we need to make sure it's fixed on a European level so there is fair competition in our single level'. Getting so tired of all the bullshit these businesses tell us.
