Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Orla Twomey:
If I may address that point, it would be helpful for statutory regulators and self-regulators to have guidance from the European Commission in all of these areas. It is not just in respect of companies that are advertising fossil fuels because other companies that are advertising a whole range of products make claims about their own environmental credentials. This is not something that applies only to fossil fuels. That is why it is important for us to be supportive of the European Commission in developing guidance in this area that can apply to all of the European Union and to all product sectors, whether fossil fuel or other product categories.
