LABELLING OF TEXTILE PRODUCTS
The Director of Commerce and Industry, Mr. J. Cater, today informed
Hong Kong manufacturers and exporters that the E.E.C. Council of Ministers
had issued a directive regarding the harmonisation of Member States
Legislation on correct labelling of textile products.
Among other things, the directive makes it obligatory for all
textile products which are marketed within the Community to contain a
label or other indication correctly describing the textile fibres used
in the manufacture of the product.
Mr. Cater added that the provisions of this directive will also
be applied to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway and Denmark if these
countries join the enlarged European Economic Community on January 1, next year.
Details of the directive are attached to three Notice to Exporters
issued to the trade today. Copies of these notices are also available at
the department's Textiles Licensing Office, 2nd floor, Fire Brigade Building,
Hong Kong.
