Textile names (consolidation)
1994/0005(COD)
OBJECTIVE: to codify, with a view to greater clarity and logic, Council Directive 71/307/EEC on
the approximation of the Member States' laws on the designation of textiles, a directive which has
been substantially amended on several occasions.
COMMUNITY MEASURE: European Parliament and Council Directive 96/74/EC on the
designation of textiles.
CONTENT: the new directive replaces the various directives which were the subject of the
codification operation; it makes no changes at all to the codified texts, restricting itself to
reorganizing them and making the formal changes required by the codification operation.
ENTRY INTO FORCE: 23/02/1997
