Hello everyone,

I'm aware of websites such as buy-european.net or goeuropean.org that index many European companies. However, they tend to only include "big" companies, which often don't actually make their products in Europe (or at least only a small part of them) or that are just as bad politically and ethically as some American actors. I also personally know of a lot of small companies that also make great products (and frequently they are actually far better or eco-friendlier than the ones made by big companies).

In France, I know of "www.marques-de-france.fr" (sorry the website is only in French) which references many smaller companies that actually make (most of) their products in France (or at least Europe). Do you know of equivalent websites in other European countries ? Or even better, a website at the European level that actually does this for many European countries ?
