On February 1st, 2022, the French public authorities validated the sorting info, with the Triman, of the CHF sector which became mandatory on February 1st, 2023.
In a press release dated February 15th, 2023, the European Commission announced the initiation of an infringement procedure against France, considering that its domestic law on consumer information on sorting instructions may undermine the principle of free movement of goods and could have counterproductive effects for the environment.
