Substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (Green Claims Directive)
This dossier is the Green Claims Directive on substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims. The amendments tighten rules against greenwashing, requiring science-based, life-cycle substantiation and verification of claims and environmental labelling schemes, address climate-related and future-performance claims such as 'climate neutral', and provide simplified procedures for micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized traders.

Plenary votes
3 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
