The new eceee steering through the maze guide is the fifth in the series of guides on current energy efficiency hot topics, and is entitled "Your eceee guide to following the approval process of the proposed Energy Efficiency Directive" and so will be updated regularly as the proposal moves through the process.

The guide is complemented by a web page on the draft EED. Apart from summarising the Directive, the web page provides up-to date links to the views and web pages of other relevant stakeholders and serves as a comprehensive resource page for all things related to the draft EED.

The new page complements eceee's other thematic pages on energy efficiency policy (with sub-pages on the 2011 Energy Efficiency Plan), the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, on ecodesign and labelling and on the Energy Services Directive.

A new column by Hans Nilsson also deals with the EED (Where is our Prince Charming?) has also been published in addition to an external column by Friends of the Earth's Brook Riley and CAN Europe's Erica Hope.

eceee hopes that this new page will help everyone interested in, but confused by, EU energy efficiency policy, to better understand the process of adopting the Directive.
