A provisional agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on **the directive to empower consumers for the green transition** was reached on 19 September 2023.

According to the agenda of the European Parliament’s Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, the **proposal for a directive on the substantiation and communication of explicit environmental claims**, which aims to complement the Directive on Empowering Consumers by providing more specific rules on environmental claims, is due to be put to a vote at the Parliament’s plenary session in **March 2024**.

This means that trialogues on this other text will not begin before the newly elected European Parliament.
