Ecodesign, the ‘forgotten’ energy directive in the present political debate on energy efficiency, takes centre stage during this Sustainable Energy Week event. Holding the same potential CO2-savings as the ETS, it is unfortunate this directive is laying low in the political arena.
In this afternoon event, the Coolproducts campaign and its partners will showcase what Ecodesign can bring to European economies, consumers and businesses in terms of potential energy savings and energy security. Manufacturers, NGOs and researchers will look at the upside of Ecodesign as well as point out where there is room for improvement.
Join our discussions! On Thursday 21st June we're meeting in Brussels at the Hotel Martin's Central Park. Please register for the limited seats on the www.eusew.eu or send an email to Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spambots. Es necesario activar Javascript para visualizarla .
