Explanation

The overall purpose of environmental information on fuels is to provide consumers with information on the environmental impact of fuels so that they can make informed consumer choices in their everyday lives regarding fuels and choose fuels that emit less greenhouse gases, see the notification of the Fuel Ordinance (2007:346) with Notification No 2019/337/S.

Summary

The fact that environmental information on the climate impact, raw materials and origin of fuel is to be provided to consumers is regulated in the Fuel Act (2011:219) and the Fuel Ordinance (2011:346). The Fuel Ordinance has been previously notified with Notification No: 2019/337/S.
