Increasing tensions between geopolitical blocs, supply chain problems and the need to respond to the challenges of climate change, rising resource consumption and social imbalances are now key areas of activity in European industrial policy.

The EU is responding by developing or expanding industries that are essential for long-term competitiveness and the transition to an economic system that respects the planet's limits. These include the development or expansion of industrial capacities to produce photovoltaics, microelectronics, batteries, hydrogen, etc. Resource and energy-intensive industries are an important supplier of materials and products – such as green steel, aluminum or glass - to support the green transition in many other industries. Ultimately, this transformation of industry is done through a combination of increasing production capacities and technological development.

The EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles announced the review of the Textile Labelling Regulation. As part of this review, the Strategy mentions the possibility to introduce mandatory disclosure of types of information other than those already included in the current Regulation, such as sustainability and circularity parameters, products’ size and, where applicable, the country where manufacturing processes take place (‘made in’). The opinion will explore the different options to expand the scope of the Textile Labelling Regulation, including parameters on sustainability and circularity in coherence with current legislative proposals linked to traceability.
