The IMCO Committee (Internal Market and Consumer Protection) kicks off the discussion on a legislative proposal on the transparency and targeting of political advertising. The draft law would require any political advert to be clearly labelled and include information on who paid for it and how much. Targeting and amplification techniques would be banned when using sensitive personal data without the explicit consent of the individual concerned.

The EU energy label is key to boosting the energy efficiency of everyday electric appliances like lighting, heating, fridges, freezers, televisions and many more products. A rescaled energy label will be introduced gradually from 1 March 2021 to have a simpler classification using only letters from A to G. The first set of new energy labels will include fridges, dishwashers, washing machines and televisions. This stockshot provides illustration images of the old and new generation of labels in home and commercial settings, as well as an interview. For information and education purpose only. No commercial use allowed.
