Vol. 415 No. 8

Written Answers. - Ecological Labelling System.

Phil Hogan

Question:

335 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment if he has any plans to introduce an ecological labelling system.

A proposed European Community regulation governing the introduction of an eco-labelling scheme was agreed in principle at the EC Environment Council of December 1991 and its formal adoption is expected shortly. The regulation will have direct effect in all member states. Section 76 of the Environmental Protection Agency Bill, 1990, when enacted, is also intended to facilitate implementation of the eco-labelling scheme.
