Green Claims Directive: Calling for Meaningful Simplification
Thursday, 19 June 2025
Sustainability
HOTREC, alongside Euro Coop, Independent Retail Europe and RURALTOUR, has published a joint statement urging EU co-legislators to delay any final agreement on the Green Claims Directive until key simplifications are introduced.
The trilogue negotiations, due to resume on Monday 23 June, are moving rapidly – but without resolving the major concerns voiced by our sectors.
The joint message is clear: sustainability requires enabling frameworks – not red tape that discourages SMEs from investing in green innovation.
Please find the full statement here.
We will keep members updated on the outcomes of the trilogue. Please feel free to reach out for further clarification or to share national-level insights.
