Official eceee statements and positions
19 Jun 08 – eceee position on the A-G labelling design
In a letter to the European Commission, eceee expresses support for the
current A–G scale as opposed to a numerical scale. The numerical scale has
been proposed by stakeholders in the Commission's working group on a
possible redesign of the energy label.

18 Jun 08 – Eco design requirements for motors, fans, pumps and circulators: eceee’s comments
eceee welcomes the proposed eco-design requirements for motors, fans, circulators, and water pumps. In general we support that the regulations take the form of implementing measures and we approve of the staged approach where applicable.

18 Apr 08 – Eco design requirements for general lighting equipment: eceee’s comments
eceee welcomes the proposed eco-design requirements for general lighting equipment, primarily intended for domestic use. eceee strongly supports the second option outlined by the Commission. This option would allow only CFLs and the most efficient halogen lamps as direct replacements for incandescents (or better technologies).

21 Mar 08 – Proposed eco-design requirements for boilers and water heaters: eceee comments
We welcome the Commission’s intention to introduce higher energy efficiency performance through the Eco-design Directive and are impressed by the detailed and thorough analysis undertaken by the consultants for Lot 1 and Lot 2. While we fully support the Commission’s desires to improve energy security and lower carbon dioxide emissions from boilers and electric water heaters, we do not entirely agree with their current proposed procedures to achieve this.

15 Feb 08 – eceee's comments on the proposed ecodesign requirements for simple set top boxes
eceee welcomes the proposed Implementing Measures for simple set-top boxes.
We think the approach with staged requirements is good. However,
introduction of the first set of requirements is urgent.

06 Feb 08 – eceee comments on the consultation document on the revision of the Energy Labelling Directive 92/75/EC
eceee is strongly in favour of keeping this valuable instrument. The Labelling Directive has strong merits and a full use of its present potential can soon deliver significant energy and carbon dioxide savings. The main asset of the EU energy label is its mandatory lay-out (especially the A–G scale, the coloured arrows), the display of the label at point of sale, and the simple message it gives.

30 Jan 08 – Proposed eco-design requirements for fluorescent lighting products and office lighting: eceee comments
General comment: We support the work to develop basic and generic criteria, which would eventually cover all lighting products (as presented at the Consultation Forum 18 December). This should also form the basis for revising the energy labels covering lighting products. In our view, criteria, definitions, test standards developed for the EuP Implementing Measures must be harmonised with criteria applied under the labelling Directive. We can only stress the urgency of seeing this work completed.
