Setting the scene
Ambitious targetsAmbitious targets
– Emissions reduction– Energy efficiency– Labelling Directive (92/75/EEC) currently under revision
Successful but…Successful but…
– Every product has a safety label, but not an energy label– No phasing out policies for inefficient appliances– Too many labels– More labelling does not mean higher quality or a more
efficient scheme– No harmonized scheme for certification of testing centres

The way forward
Dynamic labellingDynamic labelling
– Need to phase out and prevent introduction of inefficient equipment into the market
– Minimum performance requirements– Extend labelling to more products categories in
a harmonized and simple way (EuP preparatory studies could be a good starting point)
– Open ended but how to know where to stop? (A++++++)
– How to setup standards for new equipment?– Differentiated taxation?
www.leonardo-energy.org
Dynamic labelling
CECED proposed a new open-ended labelling scheme which can be dynamically updated to accommodate
the continued improvement of appliances.

In application of EU Directive 99/94/EC, Several Countries (Denmark, NL, BE...) have selected the above format for Car Labelling

Discussion
Is the “enlargement” of the labelling scheme beneficial?
What is the best way to accommodate continuous improvement?
How to design schemes for phasing-out of appliances?
How to certify testing centres and harmonize testing procedures?
How to design financial incentives to stimulate efficient products in the market?
Does differentiated taxation have a role here?
