The law was long opposed by business groups, who […] faced hefty fines if caught ‘greenwashing’
So often have I heard national lobbyist and politicians say ‘we are not against fines, but we need to make sure it’s fixed on a European level so there is fair competition in our single level’. Getting so tired of all the bullshit these businesses tell us.
