Amendment 30 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Although a comprehensive approach to environmental performance is desirable, greenhouse gas mitigation through increased energy efficiency should be considered a priority environmental goal pending the adoption of a working plan. The carbon footprint of products should be brought into general use and taken into account in ecodesign.
Amendment 37 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) Energy related-using products complying with the ecodesign requirements laid down in implementing measures to this Directive should bear the ‘CE’ marking and associated information, particularly the carbon footprint of the product, in order to enable them to be placed on the internal market and move freely. The rigorous enforcement of implementing measures is necessary to reduce the environmental impact of regulated energy related-using products and to ensure fair competition.

Article 15 - paragraph 4 - point (a)
Article 15 - paragraph 4 - point (a)
(a) consider the life cycle of the energy- using product and all its significant environmental aspects, inter alia, energy efficiency and the total carbon footprint. The depth of analysis of the environmental aspects and of the feasibility of their improvement shall be proportionate to their significance. The adoption of ecodesign requirements on the significant environmental aspects of a product shall not be unduly delayed by uncertainties regarding the other aspects;

Proposal for a directive
Annex I - part 3 - paragraph 1 - subparagraph 1
Annex I - part 3 - paragraph 1 - subparagraph 1
1. Addressing the environmental aspects identified in the implementing measure as capable of being influenced in a substantial manner through product design, manufacturers of energy-using products will be required to perform an assessment of the energy-using product model throughout its lifecycle, based upon realistic assumptions about normal conditions and purposes of use and the carbon footprint. Other environmental aspects may be examined on a voluntary basis.
