“A shop that removes a blank's neck tag and attaches its own label does not become the manufacturer under the EU Textile Regulation 1007/2011.”

Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011, as reproduced in Source 2, states the opposite: a distributor is considered a manufacturer precisely when they place the product on the market under their own name or trademark, or attach the label themselves. A shop that removes the blank's neck tag and attaches its own label falls squarely into that provision. The claim is directly contradicted by the sourced text of Article 15(2).
