Digitising product information across the Single Market
Position Paper
8 Sep 2026
Consumer affairs

Together with 21 other associations, AmCham EU is calling on EU policymakers to modernise product information requirements and allow regulatory information to be delivered digitally, as a complement or alternative to physical documentation. Paper-based obligations and fragmented language requirements complicate supply chains and generate unnecessary waste. Digital delivery can make information more accessible and available in consumers’ preferred languages, while supporting the EU’s simplification goals. As the Commission revises the New Legislative Framework, policymakers should establish a clear legal basis for digital product information across sectors, while preserving flexibility where physical information remains necessary across the EU.

Tackling overlaps, inconsistencies and excessive reporting obligations would improve legal clarity, enhance predictability and strengthen the business case for investment and the clean transition. From permitting to product sustainability, waste, chemicals and beyond, learn why clearer rules will drive Europe’s competitiveness and accelerate the green transition.
