On 13 February 2025, France notified the European Commission of the draft decrees providing for the calculation method and procedures for the voluntary display of the environmental score of clothing, following a national public consultation organised at the end of 2024.

Now that the first three-month deadline for the Commission to give its opinion is under way, we are offering a webinar to provide an update on the content of these texts and their potential impact, particularly in relation to the European PEF project:

• Overview of the European PEF Initiative – 
  Brief reminder of its objectives and key principles.
• Details of the French Initiative and Recent Developments –
  Brief overview of the context and history, with a focus on the draft decrees regarding criteria, calculation methods, display requirements, and sanctions.
• Challenges in Aligning PEF with the French Rules –
  Key points on potential conflicts, stakeholder reactions from the public consultation on the decrees in France, possible outcome from the procedure before the EU Commission, next steps.

A dedicated Q&A session will allow participants to address specific concerns about compliance and strategic adaptation.
