foodwatch welcomes the opportunity to provide comments to the call for evidence on the Biotech Act II. We understand from the Commission that the food and feed sector could be included in a future legal proposal, although this is not fully certain yet and the document up for consultation does not give enough details to provide in-depth feedback.

What they argued
foodwatch Germany welcomes the European Commission’s intention to restrict misleading environmental advertising. Such environmental claims and labels are now widespread in the supermarket. For Verbraucher:innen it is not clear on which statements are based. The draft presented by the Commission partly mitigates this, but leaves great loopholes for further confusion.
