 "description": "The Green Claims Directive proposal is still ongoing, not binding law. Separate its status from the environmental-claims rules applying 27 September 2026.",
 "territory": "reg",
 "category": null,
 "direct_answer": "The proposed **Green Claims Directive is not EU law as at 3 September 2026**. The authoritative EUR-Lex procedure for **2023/0085/COD, COM(2023) 166** is still marked **Ongoing**. That is the status to use, whatever political commentary, negotiating pauses or headlines may say. Separately, binding EU consumer-law changes on environmental claims already exist under **Directive (EU) 2024/825**.",
