Recital 49
(49) Economic operators should be responsible for products’ compliance with the ecodesign requirements under this Regulation, in relation to their respective roles in the supply chain, so as to ensure those products’ free movement on the internal market and to improve their sustainability. Economic operators need to provide proof that the products comply with the aims of this Regulation while leaving them with flexibility to find different, even faster moving solutions. Economic operators intervening in the supply and distribution chain should take appropriate measures to ensure that they only make available on the market products that are in conformity with this Regulation and the delegated acts adopted pursuant to it.
