Over the past decade, scientific research has shown the ubiquitous presence in the environment of microplastic fibres released by textile products made of synthetic materials such as polyester and acrylic. The effects of such microplastic fibres on the environment and on human health are yet to be fully determined.

not in the EU Transparency RegisterThis organization files on consultations without a register number, so its record here is built from its filings alone. Register facts — staff, costs, accreditations — are not available for it.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 639 consultation files tracked so far (53,766 submissions, mostly 2021–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

What they argued
We welcome this timely initiative to revise Reg. 1/2003. We believe that it is urgent to ensure that the Commission has the power to effectively resolve distortions of competition in digitised and complex modern markets. We have conducted several studies into the effectiveness of EU competition law remedies in Art. 102 TFEU cases in 2024 and 2025 (linked in the attached overview).
