The German Eco-Label “Blue Angel” and International Trade

Chapter 12 in Eco-Labelling and International Trade, 1997, pp 189-194 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 4, paras 20 and 21 of Agenda 212 read as follows: The recent emergence in many countries of the more environmentally conscious consumer public, combined with increased interest on the part of some industries in providing environmentally sound consumer products, is a significant development that should be encouraged. Governments and international organisations, together with the private sector, should develop criteria and methodologies for the assessment of environmental impacts and resource requirements throughout the full life cycle of products and processes. Results of those assessments should be transformed into clear indicators in order to inform consumers and decision-makers. Governments, in cooperation with industry and other relevant groups, should encourage expansion of environmental labelling and other environmentally related product information programmes designed to assist consumers to make informed choices.
