EU Regulatory Updates 2025: What Changes for Italian Exporters

2025 brings important regulatory changes that directly impact Italian companies operating in European markets. Staying updated is not just a compliance matter but a competitive advantage.

Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act

The fully operational DSA imposes new obligations on those selling online through digital platforms. SMEs must ensure transparency in commercial communications, compliance with online advertising rules, and cooperation with authorities regarding non-compliant products.

Green Claims Directive

The proposed Green Claims Directive aims to combat greenwashing. Companies claiming environmental characteristics must back them with verifiable scientific evidence and recognized certifications.

Packaging Regulation (PPWR)

The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation introduces stringent requirements for recyclability, minimum recycled content, and packaging reduction.

ESG Reporting Obligations

The CSRD extends ESG reporting obligations to a much larger number of companies. Even SMEs supplying large European companies will be indirectly involved, needing to provide data on their value chain.

Monitor regulatory developments through reliable sources and take a proactive approach to compliance — it transforms obligations into differentiation opportunities.
