Summary

This dossier is the Green Claims Directive on substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims. The amendments tighten rules against greenwashing, requiring science-based, life-cycle substantiation and verification of claims and environmental labelling schemes, address climate-related and future-performance claims such as 'climate neutral', and provide simplified procedures for micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized traders.

Plenary votes

3 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
