Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44 a (new)

(44 a) Considering the fact that climate and environmental impacts of certain construction products are more significant than others, prioritisation of sustainability measures, both in terms of product requirements and harmonised specifications, should be clearly highlighted. Concrete is responsible for a large share of embodies emissions of the construction sector due to the large volumes in which it is consumed and should therefore be specifically tackled in this revision.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44 b (new)

(44 b) Given their significant impacts on our carbon budget and environment, construction products should be subject to the same level of stringency as other products covered by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Hence, the Construction Products Regulation must mirror all obligations and requirements set for other products under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. This means that the Construction Products Regulation formally operates independently, but should be benchmarked against the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation in case it does not deliver equal provisions.
