REACH4texiles project aims to explore solutions for fair and effective

market surveillance on textiles and apparel products in EU.

A newly launched project funded by the European Commission,
REACH4texiles, aims to explore solutions for fair and effective market
surveillance on textiles and apparel products.

Every year, about 28 billion garments circulate in Europe, 80% of which
are imported from outside the EU and its jurisdiction. Inevitably, such
volumes pose enormous challenges for market surveillance authorities

which are called to ensure that uncompliant dangerous products are
kept away from the EU citizens, says EURATEX, the voice of the European
textile and apparel industry.
