(3) Providing information on a label in a digital form (‘digital label’) has clear benefits. Digital labelling can improve the communication of labelling information both by avoiding overcrowded physical labels and by allowing users to rely on various reading options available only for digital formats, such as increased font, automatic search, loud speakers or translation into other languages. In addition, digital labelling of EU fertilising products contributes to the ongoing progress with regard to digitalisation of the European agricultural sector and can facilitate the reporting obligations of farmers regarding the use of such products. Digital labelling can also lead to a more efficient management of the labelling obligations by economic operators, by facilitating the update of labelling information and permitting a more targeted information to users. The use of digital labels allows to circumvent space limitations when compared to paper labels, and as such could encompass traceability elements from the entire production chain or various re-packaging or package downsizing steps. In addition, digital labelling can contribute to reducing labelling costs all along the supply chain, given that the labels of EU fertilising products may be changed following a transaction between economic operators, before reaching end-users,

(6a) The obligations under Article 31 of EC Regulation 1907/2006 can be streamlined through the use of digital labelling, offering a comprehensive solution that alleviates the administrative burden on producers while ensuring safety standards. The possibility of communicating the safety data sheet via digita labelling would be an important facility for EU fertiliser product manufacturers, especially in the context of frequent changes to safety data sheets. The provision of the safety data sheet through digital labelling shall be voluntary.
