Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) The Community Ecolabel scheme is part of the sustainable consumption and production policy of the Community, which aims at reducing the negative impact of consumption and production on the environment, health, and natural resources. The scheme is intended to promote those products which have a high level of environmental performance through the use of the Ecolabel. To this effect, it is appropriate to require that the criteria which products must comply with in order to bear the Ecolabel be based on the best environmental performance achieved by products on the Community market. Those criteria should be simple to understand and to use, and should therefore bebe based on scientific evidence, taking into consideration the latest technological developments. Those criteria should be market-oriented and limited to the most significant environmental impacts of products during their full lifecycle.
