It is not sure if the EU legislation, even if the intentions are good, will be able to create an optimal scenario. A worst case scenario is that tightened legislation leads to higher costs which are passed on to the manufacturer, maintaining ‘races to the bottom’ in the industry. Avoiding this worst case scenario requires much closer collaboration between buyers and their suppliers. It also requires legislators such as the EU to really make a level playing field, avoiding the situation where some companies gain an unfair advantage by not following the rules because rules are not well enforced.
