Consumer Positions

ANEC and BEUC will provide the Commission with the consumer views on 20 different lots (product groups as well as horizontal matters, such as standby and off-mode losses and networked standby). The position papers, which are made available before the respective ErP Consultation Forum meetings, will comment the consumer needs in Ecodesign.
The following positions papers are available for download:
