In a recently published position paper, the ambitions of the EU to promote climate protection, in particular the approach of combining the goals for the EU textile and clothing industry into a sector-specific strategy are welcomed by the companies organized in the VDMA Textile Machinery Association, Frankfurt/Germany.
Up to now, the increasing textile consumption around the world, due to growing population and purchasing power has been accompanied by a rising use of resources. In the new position paper, the executive board of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association emphasizes that the new framework must be practicable.
»The EU must strike the right balance between necessary, yet also minimal, legislative regulation. A successful transition requires a level playing field which sets out fair rules for sustainability, thereby enabling European companies to nonetheless increase their international competitiveness.«
