Over 80% of the impact on the environment of an energy-using product, such as electrical or heating equipment, is determined at the design phase. Integrating such considerations at this early stage is to everyone's benefit. Measures taken at the design stage are more effective and avoid disrupting the single market. As a result, the Commission is proposing draft legislation on an eco-design for these goods.
