The birth of the European Common Market and the consequent free circulation of goods increased the need to promote a culture for fair and sustainable consumption.
In particular, the goods labelling has become a fundamental tool in order to confer transparency to the European productive policy and in order to realize a unique labelling system in member states. Consumers have the right to know what they are buying. The main tool to access the information is to be able to read labels and know the mandatory content in labels.
The aim, through this site, is to recognize the right of consumers to be not a passive subject, but a conscious and careful citizen who has the right to choose controlled and safe goods. In order to increase the role of the consumer, linked to the need of transparent and clear information about goods characteristics, the labelling system assumed a more important significance into the various members framework.
It is therefore essential a fair and clear information about goods identification, to conform labelling and certifying system to European framework.
A complete and fair information allows consumers to make easier goods recognition, and contributes to knock down possible economic obstacles into intra-communitarian trade. The European directives are oriented and focussed on a fair environmental policy. This oblige producers to give specific and clear information about energetic consumption of households.
