EC consults stakeholders on effectiveness of energy label and ecodesign directives

The European Commission has started an evaluation process to determine the effectiveness of the Energy Labelling Directive and specific aspects of the Ecodesign Directive. The evaluation will provide background information and analysis, and lay the groundwork for an impact assessment and the possible drafting of a legislative proposal.

To gather a greater range of input on the effectiveness of the two directives, the Commission will run a series of consultations with stakeholders. Registration for the first stakeholder meeting, which takes place on 27 June 2013 from 9.00 – 13.00 in Brussels (Belgium), is now open.

To access the meeting, participants must also register for Stronger ecodesign & energy labelling: Cornerstone of EU Energy & Climate Policies, a seminar held as part of the EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW). The seminar can be registered for online.
