European Branded Clothing Association

EU Legislative Interests

As a coalition of European retail clothing brands with both a European and global presence, EBCA’s main activities focus on ensuring an open trade agenda and fair market access at both bilateral and multilateral levels. As a consequence, the subject matter of EBCA’s outreach efforts consists of the following: • Harmonised and impact-driven sustainability requirements • Free, fair and sustainable trade; • Ambitious yet feasible due diligence and sustainable corporate governance frameworks; • Robust trade agreements with third countries; • Simplified Rules of Origin during the negotiation of free trade agreements; • A well-functioning multilateral trading system; • Market access for European companies in third countries; • Trade facilitation through the harmonization of customs procedures in each member state, including the UK post-Brexit; • Effective protection of intellectual property rules; • An efficient, equitable and user-friendly customs-valuation system. In concrete terms, we are active on Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation Waste Framework Directive Waste Shipment Directive Omnibus VIII (environmental omnibus) Product Act (Market Surveillance Regulation, New Legislative Framework) Free Trade Agreements General System of Preferences Union Customs Code Reform Single Market Strategy and support to TRIS notification.
