What they argued
WFTO-Europe acknowledges the steps taken through the EU's 2014/24 Directive to encourage socially and environmentally responsible public procurement. However, as a network representing more than 80 SMEs fully practicing Fair Trade in 17 EU member states, we find its implementation remains inconsistent, which severely limits its potential to drive positive change.
The World Fair Trade Organization Europe warmly welcomes this proposal by the Commission for a regulation on a European climate law. It is crucial to have a legal framework on the multinational level to combat climate change. Therefore the steps taken by the European Union and third countries are essential, like the Paris Agreement or the European strategic long-term vision, “A clean planet for all”.
WFTO-Europe warmly welcomes the European Commission’s focus on sustainable corporate governance and for recognising several of the issues directly related with profit-maximisation as the dominant business model of late.
The World Fair Trade Organization-Europe is formed by more than 100 members, among them Fair Trade Enterprises, Fair Trade networks and Fair Trade support organizations. We implement our Guarantee System and offer the WFTO label to assure that Fair Trade is implemented in the whole supply chain and within practices of our members, who are all mission-led social enterprises with built-in purposes for benefiting…

On behalf of WFTO-Europe, the European branch of the World Fair Trade Organization which gathers social enterprises fully practicing Fair Trade, we submit the feedback in the document in attachment. In sum, we urge the European Commission to ensure the highest extent of transparency through this textile labelling regulation, covering a range of information.
We warmly welcome this initiative by the European Commission (EC) aiming to minimise the EU’s contribution to deforestation and forest degradation worldwide. In order to achieve this aim to the highest extent possible, the EC must introduce binding legislation related to Due Diligence on Human Rights and the Environment for companies placing products on the EU market.
