"The text being examined today is, unfortunately, very different from the one approved by this House at first reading. The substantive difference lies in the fact that this report makes no reference to the origin marking to be included on textile product labels. The Council has strongly opposed the idea, and it is difficult to understand why. Is it not right for consumers to know where the clothes they wear come from? The presence of origin marking would surely have provided a guarantee of product quality and protection.
I am really puzzled by the fact that only two Member States, Italy and Lithuania, insisted in the Council on including origin marking, and I wonder what interest the other European countries have in not protecting their own businesses in this way, since they are thus left more exposed to problems of unfair competition and counterfeiting. Parliament has unfortunately bowed to the Council’s short-sighted decision not to endorse the much-needed origin marking, and I therefore feel I must vote against today’s report."@en1
