00:00The European Commission intends to withdraw a proposal aimed at combating so-called greenwashing from the broader European Green Deal legislative framework.
00:13The greenwashing proposal was designed to ensure companies' environmental claims are accurate, substantiated and independently verified.
00:21It's the latest in a series of rollbacks of major Green Deal initiatives, and came as a surprise decision ahead of a final meeting scheduled for Monday, which was expected to give the proposal the green light.
00:35According to parliamentary sources, MEPs still intend to proceed with the Trilog negotiations on Monday, and some expressed frustration at what they see as a unilateral and premature move.
00:46Beyond the immediate legislative impact, the move raises broader questions about the Commission's authority to retract its own proposals.
