The European Branded Clothing Association (EBCA) recognises the important role that biotechnology and bio-based solutions can play in supporting industrial decarbonisation.

The European Branded Clothing Alliance (EBCA) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commission’s Call for Evidence and public consultation on the Revision of the Union Customs Code.

The European Branded Clothing Association (EBCA) welcomes the inclusion of mixtures of textile products, footwear, and accessories on the green list of intra-EU shipments under the Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR). Streamlining the circulation of textile waste will ease waste management, reduce costs, and ensure that secondary raw materials can effectively reach recycling facilities.
EBCA welcomes the revision of Regulation on market surveillance and compliance of product both in light of changing market realities and because products, particularly textile and apparel, will face increased requirements to access the EU market. Modernising the market surveillance regulation will enable a coordinated response to ensure compliance and enforcement of product rules.

EBCA would like to present the following recommendations for the Commissions proposed revision of the TLR: 1.
