Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) The disparities between the laws or administrative measures adopted by the Member States in relation to the ecodesign of energy related 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. The extension of the scope to all energy related products ensures that ecodesign requirements for all significant energy related products can be harmonised at Community level. The extension of the scope to energy related products must not result in excessive commercial constraints for SMEs, thus hampering their competitiveness.
