DIRECTIVE 2005/32/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 6 July 2005

establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products and amending Council Directive 92/42/EEC and Directives 96/57/EC and 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

 

(1)

The disparities between the laws or administrative measures adopted by the Member States in relation to the ecodesign of energy-using products can create barriers to trade and distort competition in the Community and may thus have a direct impact on the establishment and functioning of the internal market. The harmonisation of national laws is the only means to prevent such barriers to trade and unfair competition.
 

(2)

Energy-using products (EuPs) account for a large proportion of the consumption of natural resources and energy in the Community. They also have a number of other important environmental impacts. For the vast majority of product categories available on the Community market, very different degrees of environmental impact can be noted though they provide similar functional performances. In the interest of sustainable development, continuous improvement in the overall environmental impact of those products should be encouraged, notably by identifying the major sources of negative environmental impacts and avoiding transfer of pollution, when this improvement does not entail excessive costs.
 

(3)

The ecodesign of products is a crucial factor in the Community strategy on Integrated Product Policy. As a preventive approach, designed to optimise the environmental performance of products, while maintaining their functional qualities, it provides genuine new opportunities for manufacturers, for consumers and for society as a whole.
 

(4)

Energy efficiency improvement — with one of the available options being more efficient end use of electricity — is regarded as contributing substantially to the achievement of greenhouse gas emission targets in the Community. Electricity demand is the fastest growing energy end use category and is projected to grow within the next 20 to 30 years, in the absence of any policy action to counteract this trend. A significant reduction in energy consumption as suggested by the Commission in its European Climate Change Programme (ECCP) is possible. Climate change is one of the priorities of the Sixth Community Environment Action Programme, laid down by Decision No 1600/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Energy saving is the most cost-effective way to increase security of supply and reduce import dependency. Therefore, substantial demand side measures and targets should be adopted.
 

(5)

Action should be taken during the design phase of EuPs, since it appears that the pollution caused during a product's life cycle is determined at that stage, and most of the costs involved are committed then.
 

(6)

A coherent framework for the application of Community ecodesign requirements for EuPs should be established with the aim of ensuring the free movement of those products which comply and of improving their overall environmental impact. Such Community requirements should respect the principles of fair competition and international trade.
 

(7)

Ecodesign requirements should be set bearing in mind the goals and priorities of the Sixth Community Environment Action...

    "In terms of business-to-business communications, there are strong market drivers within the sector for the provision of product environmental information. These include requests for information from public procurers, voluntary environmental management and eco-design initiatives... As a result, several of the large multinational end-product manufacturers developed their own supply chain questionnaires, which typically focused on the hazardous chemical and heavy metal content of the components being supplied. However, providing and requesting information in different formats presented difficulties for both procurers and suppliers. It made it difficult for procurers to compare the information provided, and from a supplier's perspective, filling in different questionnaires is extremely time consuming and inefficient. As a result there was clearly a need to develop standardised responses and information formats". Study for the Commission, DG Environment on Environmental Product Declaration schemes, 2002

    reduced time for disassembly increases recyclability for most energy using equipment; by aiming at its reduction during design, a reduction of the time necessary for assembly of the product during manufacturing is simultaneously achieved. Reduced energy consumption in the internal circuits of electronic equipment will also reduce the waste heat released and therefore the necessity for ventilation, thereby contributing to simplicity of production and lower costs.
