ENVIRONMENT, POLLUTION, DEVELOPMENT:  THE CASE OF UZBEKISTAN
Eco-label also requires manufacturers to address environ mental 
protection issues and reduce environ mental impact.
The eco-labelling process helps to determine the impact on 
the environ ment and build an informative link between producers, 
traders and consumers. However, in eco-labelling the attention 
is paid to the product and almost none to the production and 
distribution processes. Consequently, an environ 
ment-friendly 
product can be manufactured in a company causing extensive 
pollution, or this product can cause damage to the environ ment or 
human health after its use.
