"The initial aim of this proposal was to simplify and improve the existing regulatory framework for the labelling of textile products.
During its negotiations with the EU Council of Ministers, Parliament included new provisions in the regulation, such as those requiring the indication of animal-derived materials in textile products and conducting a study to determine whether there is a causal link between allergic reactions and the chemicals used in textile products.
The presence of animal-derived materials should be clearly indicated, so as to prevent consumers or individuals who suffer allergies from running the risk of inadvertently purchasing real fur products when they would prefer not to do so.
The Commission will have to prepare a study by 30 September 2013 to determine whether there is a causal link between allergic reactions, and the chemicals or mixtures used in textile products. On the basis of this study, the Commission will table legislative proposals, where appropriate.
This regulation should soon be adopted by the EU Council of Ministers and enter into force on the 20th day following its publication. There will be a transitional period of two and a half years for the rules on labelling requirements, and for those on the indication of ‘non-textile parts of animal origin’."@en1
