Consumer Positions

ANEC and BEUC will provide the Commission with the consumer views on 25 different lots (product groups as well as horizontal matters, such as standby and off-mode losses). The position papers, which are made available before the respective EuP Consultation Forum meetings, will comment the consumer needs in eco-design.
The following positions papers are offered for download:
