New Energy Labelling Regulation Adopted

07 May 2017

The Council adopted the new Energy Labelling Regulation on 26 June 2017. The new Regulation replaces the current legislation (Directive 2010/30/EU) retaining its main principles but further clarifying, strengthening and extending its scope. While the inter-institutional decision making process will still take a few more months to be finalized, it is now clear that the Commission will have to establish a product registration database by 1 January 2019 at the latest.
