(5 a) There are other ongoing initiatives very relevant for the construction sector and the built environment such as the revision of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD) and the New European Bauahus innitiative (NEB). The Construction Products Regulation should take into account the objectives set by the EPBD, especially in relation to the design of sustainable and efficient construction products in order to achieve energy efficiency. The NEB should also have a key role improving the quality of construction products from the design to the industrial development through innovation.

(6 b) Climate change is a challenge that transcends borders and requires immediate and ambitious action. The transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050 represents a great opportunity as well as a challenge for the Union, its Member States, citizens and business from every sector. To this aim, Cohesion policy is a crucial tool in delivering a fair transition to a climate-neutral economy by leaving no one behind.

Recital 8
(8) To ensure safety and functionality of construction products and, by extension, of construction works, it is necessary to avoid that items that are not intended by their manufacturers to be construction products are placed on the market as construction products. Importers, distributors and other downstream economic operators should therefore ensure that those pseudo construction products are not sold as construction products. The Commission should establish guidelines for verification and control systems to this aim. Moreover, certain service providers such as fulfilment service providers or 3D-printing service providers should not contribute to the non- compliances of other economic operators. It is therefore necessary to render relevant provisions applicable also to these services and their providers.
Amendment 181 #
(12) Creating a Union market for small prefabricated one-family houses has a potential to reduce the price of housing and to have positive social and economic effects. Fairness to consumers remains a priority, specifically but not limited to ensuring affordability of housing in the context of the green transition, in line with Proposal for Council Recommendation on Ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality40 , in particular recommendations 7 a)-c). It is therefore necessary to lay down harmonised rules for such small houses. However, small houses are also construction works, for which the Member States are competent. As it might not be possible to integrate cumulatively all national requirements for small prefabricated one-family houses into the future harmonised technical specifications, Member States should have the right to opt out of the application ofTo speed up the integration process and make the necessary requirements for this type of construction more flexible, Member States may have some flexibility in implementing the rules that are to apply to those pre- fabricated one-family houses. _________________ 40 Proposal for a Council Recommendation on Ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality COM(2021)801final 2021/0421 (NLE)

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Pursuing the environmental goals, including the fight against climate change, makes it necessary to establish new environmental obligations and to lay the ground for the development and the application of an assessment method for the calculation of the environmental sustainability of construction products without increasing disproportionately bureaucracy and costs for economic operators, especially for SMEs. For the same reason, it is necessary to extend the range of regulated economic operators, since distributors, suppliers and manufacturers all have a role to play in the calculation of the environmental sustainability in the construction sector. That range should therefore be extended into two directions, downstream from the distributors to the economic operators preparing re-use and remanufacturing of construction products and upstream from the manufacturer over the suppliers of intermediate products and/or raw materials. Moreover, certain operators coming into play in the context of dismantling used products or other parts of construction works or remanufacturing and re-use thereof need to contribute to a safe second life of construction products.

(24) At the same time, in order to strike a balance between mitigating the fragmentation of the market and the legitimate interests of Member States to regulate construction works, it is necessary to provide for a mechanism to better integrate Member States’ needs into the development of harmonised technical specifications. For the same reason, a mechanism allowing Member State to set, based on imperative grounds of health, safety or environmental protection, additional requirements for construction products should be established.

Recital 28
Recital 28
(28) In particular, in the case of energy- related products included in ecodesign working plans which are also construction products and for intermediary products, with the exception of cement, priority for the setting of sustainability requirements will be given to the [ESPR]. This should be the case for instance for heaters, boilers, heat pumps, water and space heating appliances, fans, cooling and ventilating systems and photovoltaic products, excluding building-integrated photovoltaic panels. This Regulation may still intervene in a complementary manner where needed, mainly in relation to safety aspects also taking account of other Union legislation on products such as on gas appliances, low voltage, and machinery. For other products, in order to avoid unnecessary burden for economic operators, the need may arise in future to determine the conditions under which the fulfilment of obligations under other Union law also fulfils certain obligations under this Regulation. The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to determine such conditions.

(63) Currently, the increasing number of hardly distinguishable European assessment documents which often have little added value when compared to others or existing harmonised standards, risks to slow down their publication and increase costs. In order to deal with this risk in a cost-effective way, certain principles for the development and adoption of European assessment documents should be established or be made more concrete and justifiable. Moreover, the control by the Commission should be enhanced.

Recital 72
(72) The attempts of establishing simplified procedures for microenterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 and thus reducing the burden and costs on SMEs and microenterprises have not been entirely effective and have often remained misunderstood or not used due to the lack of awareness or the lack of clarity regarding their application. By addressing the identified shortcomings while building on the previously established rules, it is necessary to clarify and facilitate their application and hence achieve the objective of supporting microenterprises and SMEs while ensuring performance, safety and environmental sustainability of construction products.
