Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Further underlines the strong link between the Ecodesign Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive; a well-functioning inspections’ system under the latter Directive might favour the replacement of the inefficient installed appliances and lead to planned replacements; in this regard, calls on Member States to boost inspections and introduce support schemes to incentivise the market uptake of efficient products;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Believes, therefore, that the implementation of the Ecodesign Directive – in addition to continued efforts to improve energy efficiency – must now address the full life -cycle of the products within its scope, with the setting up of minimum resource criteria covering, inter alia, robustness, repairability and upgradeability - taking into due account the availability of compatible spare parts over the whole life-cycle of a product -, but also sharing potential, reuse, scalability, recyclability and use, minimum content of recycled materials; , use of critical raw materials and the substitution of substances of concern;

Paragraph 9 b (new)
Paragraph 9 b (new)
9b. Believes that the development of a 'system-approach' to consider not only the product but the whole system required for its functioning in the Ecodesign process becomes an increasingly critical success factor towards resource efficiency and urges the Commission to include more of such system-level opportunities in the next Ecodesign work programme;
Amendment 148 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)

Amendment 196 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Stresses that the transition to a sustainable and circular economy will present not only many opportunities but also social challenges; as nobody should be left behind, the European Commission and the Member States should pay special attention to low-income households at risk of energy poverty, when presenting programmes to encourage the uptake of the most resource efficient products; such programmes should not hinder innovation but should continue to allow manufacturers to offer consumers a broad range of high quality products; they should also favour the market penetration of energy-related and water-using products capable of achieving greater resource efficiency and savings for consumers;
Amendment 197 #
Motion for a resolution
