Legal basis: Grenelle I and II laws Law n°967 (08/03/2009), art. 54 : consumers’

right to have information on env. impacts of products

Law n°788 (07/12/2010), art. 228 : env. information display on products after national experimentation phase starting July 2011

Long-term objectives: environmental information as a choice criterion

for consumers Harmonized environmental assessment and

communication, allowing comparison and comparability

The environmental labelling : a key measure of the « Grenelle de l’environnement »

1. Regulatory pillar: ensure a long-term goal

2. Support to private companies’ initiatives since 2008:prove that the environmental labelling is possible, showing concrete examples and experiences

3. ADEME-AFNOR platform (experts and normalization): share costs and practices / ways of doing, ensure environmental assessment reliability and comparisons

In food sector :* WG1 of platform ADEME-AFNOR : development of a guidance for

environmental assessment in food, petfood and beverage sector (framework: BPX-30-323)

* AGRIBALYSE project (leaders: ADEME; agric. technical and research centers): development of a public database with LCI and LCA for agricultural products (boundary: from cradle to the farm gate)

4. One year long (or more) national experimentation, July 2011 – at least July 2012: learn how to do it

The French experimentation on environmental labelling : one of the environmental labelling four pillars

Annex 2: AGRIBALYSE 3 years long project

Objective: create a public database with LCI and LCA for agricultural products (boundary : cradle to the farm gate)

Leaders: ADEME, INRA, ART Agric. technical and research centers work together 29 plant products, 15 animal products, 3 tropical products, 136

LCI, 1600 inputs ; some examples: cereals, tomato, milk, beef, sheep, eggs, carrot
