EURATEX vision for a European Textiles Strategy

The European Commission should publish before the end of 2021 an “EU Sustainable Textiles Strategy�. It will also develop a “transition pathway� for the textiles sector – being one of the 14 critical ecosystems of the EU’s new Industrial Strategy.

EURATEX wants to contribute actively to this process, to make sure we can develop a forward looking business model, laying the foundations for a competitive and sustainable European textiles industry.

In line with the EURATEX Charter,

• EURATEX strives for a recognition of the Textiles & Clothing (T&C) sector as an essential and strategic part of the European economy.

• Strongly believes in innovation, quality and sustainability as a source of competitiveness.

• Emphasises the value of a skilled workforce, embracing new green and digital skills.

• Maintains its support for open markets, based on free but fair competition.

EURATEX wants the European textiles industry to:

• Be a global leader on sustainable textiles

• Be more efficient

• get a greater share on the global market
