THEORETICAL ASPECTS REGARDING THE EUROPEAN LEGISLATIVE ACTS RELATED TO TEXTILES

The textile industry is one of the most flourishing and developed at the level of the European Union and as a result, being such an important field, it is imperative to have some legislative acts at the European level in order to regulate and harmonise the conduct of the Member States. The main goal of the Regulation No 1007/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council is to set up common rules on both fabric names and the composition of textile products and, at the same time, to harmonise the indications that appear on the labels, markings and documents which accompany such products throughout the process of their production and distribution. In addition to this Regulation, there are other normative acts at the level of the European Union with a particular impact on the textile industry. We are taking into consideration, alongside with the above-mentioned Regulation, the Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, which refers to the general product safety and other acts in connection with these. The aim of this paper is to briefly present the provisions of these legislative acts, as they are closely connected to the textile industry.
