Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Who they are

Among the 1205 trade and business associations on this site, they rank #876 by legislative files engaged — a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

Their record over time

Austrian Retail Association filed 1 position on 19 Jul 2023, across 1 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 1 time.

What they argued

Substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims (Green Claims Directive)filed 19 Jul 2023PDFsource

The trade association supports in principle the harsh objective of the Directive, but in its current form the proposal creates additional administrative burdens and legal uncertainty for businesses without effectively resolving a problem. Please find attached our detailed position.
