1. State of Play
2. Review of the Directives + future work plan 3. Information on specific products
How do we achieve energy efficiency in product design?
Combined effect ensures a dynamic improvement of the market:
Supply side Efficient products Demand side Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC Energy Labelling Directive 2010/30/EU
+ Labelling of Tyres (Regulation 1222/2009) + Energy Star (Regulation 106/2008) Both Directives are «frameworks» defining the «rules» for setting product-specific requirements through Regulations.
•
Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC)
Allows to set requirements for environmental performance of energy-related products • Main focus has been on energy in the use-phase • Can address other environmental parameters and life-cycle phases • Requirements have to be met in order to place a product on the market • Requirements are harmonised across the EU
Energy Labelling Directive (2010/30/EU)
Allows to specify an energy label for energy-related products The label shows energy efficiency in the use phase Use of other essential resources/ information during use also shown Manufacturers have to supply the label; dealers have to show it
Product-specific measures 24 ecodesign regulations (+4 amendments)

Process for developing product-specific regulations
Step 1-7
Step 8-10
Entry into force and application
Regulations enter into force 20 days after publication in the Official Journal of EU, but .. .. requirements only become applicable from the date(s) specified in the regulation Either 'Common commencement dates' (1 January or 1 July) or exactly X years after entry into force First requirements usually (about) 1 or 2 years after publication
Implementation of Regulations
Commission provides: • References to transitional or final measurement standards (published in the Official Journal of the EU) • Guidelines (for selected products) • Energy label templates • Energy label generator (new) • Consumer's guides (new)

Enforcement
Market surveillance is the role of national authorities, it includes:
Inspecting technical documentation Product testing Inspection of labels in shops and on the internet Random and/or risk based sampling Cooperation with other market surveillance authorities
Market surveillance regulation 765/2008
Applies to all Union harmonisation legislation on products Applies also to Ecodesign, Energy Labelling and Tyre Labelling New proposal under negotiation in European Parliament and Council
Member States' cooperation on enforcement
Administrative Cooperation (ADCO): • Discuss common challenges • Agree on interpretation questions relevant to surveillance EU-funded projects: • Joint actions (e.g. testing) • Common procedures, exchange best practices
Voluntary agreements
Ecodesign Directive provides for self-regulation as alternative, under certain conditions Two agreements have been endorsed by the Commission (imaging equipment; complex set-top boxes) Thus, no ecodesign regulations However, regulation on stand-by & off-mode still applies
Provisions for voluntary agreements
•
Ecodesign Directive, ANNEX VIII
•
Self-regulation
• (referred to in Article 17) • • • • • • • • • Requirements: self-regulatory initiatives must comply with all provisions of the Treaty (in particular internal market and competition rules), international engagements of the Community and the following non-exhaustive list of indicative criteria: 1. Openness of participation 2. Added value 3. Representativeness 4. Quantified and staged objectives 5. Involvement of civil society 6. Monitoring and reporting 7. Cost-effectiveness of administering a self-regulatory initiative 8. Sustainability 9. Incentive compatibility (Policy consistency )
Guidelines for voluntary agreements
General criteria ensuring coherence Under preparation, draft presented to the Ecodesign Consultation Forum June 2014. Would address: • Process transparency and information to the public • Level of ambition; market share covered • Compliance checks, auditing
