| 1. Background and tasks |
| The European Eco-design-directive 2005/32/EG (EuP-Directive)
creates a framework for the regulation of binding requirements to
satisfy environmental demands in the design of products run by energy.
A good portion of the environmental impact of a product is predetermined
by its design and construction. Because of that the EuP-Directive
aims at the improvement of the environmental sustainability of energy
using products in the stage of their design. |
| |
| Currently a multitude of preparatory studies and coordination
processes are taking place within the EU to the further concretion
of the directive. The German Federal Environment Ministry (BMU) and
the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) want to foster the discussion
process and the demand of information of the involved stakeholders
on national level. Hence Ökopol was commissioned by the UBA to
support the development of a network for German stakeholder and to
facilitate their access to relevant information |
| |
| |
| 2. Objectives and expected results |
| The aim of the project is to contribute to the development
of a network of relevant German stakeholders as well as to the dialogue
and determination of positions in the current process of implementation
of the EuP-Directive. Furthermore an information supply, accessibly
for all stakeholders, giving a German up-to-date overview of the state
of affairs of the partially parallel running processes shall be provided. |
| |
| By means of guideline supported interviews, Ökopol
is going to gather and process assessments of relevant stakeholders
for the design of the EuP-Directive. The exchange of information and
the discussion of the national network shall be eased by three workshops.
The topics will be orientated on the needs of the interviewed stakeholders. |
| |
| Within a central internet portal in German language
Ökopol is going to merge essential information concerning the
numerous processes of the implementation of the EuP-Directive, and
will spread this information to people interested via a newsletter. |
