Energy Label Evaluation

Article 14 of the Energy Labelling Directive (2010/30/EU) requires the Commission to report about its effectiveness to the European Parliament and to the Council before 31 December 2014. As to the Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC), the Commission's 2012 review of the directive (COM(2012) 765 final from 17 December 2012) concluded that specific aspects of the directive can be reassessed if appropriate in the 2014 review of the Energy Labelling Directive. The Commission launched this study in order to prepare the review of the Energy Labelling Directive and certain aspects of the Ecodesign Directive.
