Accueil Ciarán CUFFE

I was happy to vote in favour of this report, as today, the European Parliament took a firm stance against greenwashing. Indeed, the new labelling requirements that we voted in favour of will ensure manufacturers produce higher quality products that last longer, and can be more easily repaired. It introduces a much-need “right to repair” for European consumers. Moreover, the European Parliament is also clamping down on unsubstantiated green claims : companies will no longer be able to mislead customers in this way.

Together with my Greens/EFA colleagues, I was happy to vote in favour of this resolution. As a member of the Greens/EFA Group, I believe that the Porto Forum was an important place to put forward ambitious social policies. Indeed, this forum can help us ensure that the Green Transition is also fair to all. In that regard, I welcome the measures in favour of green and affordable social housing, as well as the proposal for a European action plan for social protection.
