The Commission has registered today two new European citizens' initiatives.
The organisers of the ‘European EcoScore’ initiative call on the Commission to propose ‘a reliable European EcoScore’ – a mandatory label providing consumers with information about the environmental impact of products manufactured or sold on the EU market. The label would be based on a standardised calculation, starting with food and clothing but ultimately aiming to cover all types of products.
‘Save cruelty-free cosmetics - Commit to a Europe without animal testing’
The organisers of the ‘Save cruelty-free cosmetics - Commit to a Europe without animal testing’ initiative call on the Commission to propose legislation, which would strengthen and broaden the existing EU bans on animal testing for cosmetics and the marketing of ingredients tested on animals. The legislation would also set out a roadmap to phase out all animal testing before the end of the Commission’s current mandate.
With these two registrations, the number of new initiatives registered in the first half of 2021 is 6.
