Impacts of the EU’s Ecodesign and Energy/Tyre labelling legislation on third jurisdictions

This study aims to supply the Commission with relevant information on the impact of the EU’s ecodesign, energy and tyre labelling regulations and processes on other economies around the world. It further aims to explore the options for greater international harmonisation of product energy efficiency/ecodesign standards, regulations and related processes and to produce related recommendations ahead of a major international workshop planned by the Commission to take place in February 2014.
