Ha. whereas the European Commission in its report to the Parliament on the review of Directive 2009/125/EC stated that for the moment, there is no need for the extension of the scope of the Ecodesign Directive to non- energy related products as "many non- energy related products have a significant environmental impact that mainly occurs in the earliest phase of the life cycle and therefore product testing would no longer be adequate for conformity assessment"1a; _________________ 1aCOM (2012)765.
