This study aims to inform the implementation
and further development of the Action Plan and
actions related to the Communication, by:
- Assessing current energy and environmental
performance-related product labelling programmes,
regulations and standards, and
identifying what lessons can be learnt from
best practice;
- Reviewing current practice in GPP, and identifying
what lessons can be learnt from best
practice and what possible measures could be
used to reinforce GPP procedures, using
product labelling as a common reference system;
- Highlighting where possible, other measures
that could be used to further stimulate the
market for energy efficient and environmentally
sustainable products.
