After the 2013 Rana Plaza garment factory tragedy in Bangladesh, the European Commission pledged to table an EU-wide flagship initiative to boost responsible management of the garment industry. To date, this initiative has yet to be launched. A motion for a European Parliament resolution, was due to be voted at the second April 2017 plenary session (April II). It called on the Commission to put forward a legislative proposal and focus, among other things, on introducing mandatory due diligence for the supply chains in the industry.
