The European sporting goods industry, represented by FESI, has shown strong support for the EU's new Single Market Strategy, which aims to eliminate trade barriers and enhance economic growth across the region. FESI is particularly focused on addressing fragmented labelling and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements, which hinder both large brands and SMEs. While the strategy is seen as a positive step, FESI raises concerns over the European Commission's recent approval of France's Ecoscore system, fearing it may contradict the goals of regulatory harmonization. FESI pledges to work closely with the Commission to ensure effective implementation of the strategy.
