Understanding the impacts of upcoming legislation for apparel and textile manufacturers

Legal texts can be overwhelming to anyone who is not a lawyer.

Explanations can become complicated quite quickly, particularly when they come from a lawyer. Yet it is important to be able at least to determine from a legal text if your company is covered by it and if so how to prepare and respond.

In this webinar we will take a look at what EU-legislation is, how the EU typically makes laws and how to read them in a way that ensures you can extract the basics from EU-legislation that might have an impact on your doing business, even if it does not affect you directly.

  • How does this law affect manufacturers?
  • How to understand if I am directly or indirectly within scope? How much work is this law for me as a manufacturer?
  • How can manufacturers prepare? Or What manufacturers need to have in place, or what is needed from a compliance, legal and admin stand point?
  • Who do I answer to, who can fine me?
  • What is the timeline of this law? What are the consequences for manufacturers?
