Ecodesign and energy labelling working plan 2022-2024
Communication from the commission
Within the possibilities of the existing EU ecodesign rules and in synergy with the focus on energy efficiency, this working plan strengthens the focus on the circularity aspects of ecodesign, following the example set in the previous Working Plan and in line with the Circular Economy Action Plan 2020
The preparation of the working plan has shown there is still potential for substantial, cost-effective savings from expanding the scope to new ErPs. At the same time a key lesson learned from the implementation of the last working plan is that harvesting the full benefits of this policy area will require a better match between ambition and resources, both for policy implementation at EU level and when it comes to Member States’ efforts in market surveillance.
