The European Commission has published a draft directive on the EU-wide regulation of environmental advertising claims. In Germany, such "green claims" or "greenwashing" accusations are currently the subject of many court cases, although a uniform line of case law is still developing. The EU's draft directive goes far beyond the current requirements and could lead to a large number of current advertising claims and sustainability seals becoming unlawful.

In many cases, it has been surprisingly lenient, especially towards large tech companies based in Ireland. This makes the authority's latest decision, which involves a fine of half a million euros and could have an impact on IT security and the technical data protection requirements of companies, all the more surprising. The authority states that even supposedly minor failures in IT security can result in large fines, even without any additional circumstances.
