EmpCo: environmental claims and labels

What is the difference between EmpCo and the Green Claims Directive?

EmpCo prohibits certain practices and is already transposed law. The Green Claims Directive would additionally govern how explicit environmental claims have to be substantiated and verified in advance. It is not currently in force, but the Commission continues to pursue it as an ongoing initiative.
