Recital 8
(8) The conclusions of the European Council of 23 and 24 October 2014 set an indicative target at Union level of at least 27% for improving energy efficiency in 2030 compared to projections of future energy consumption. This target will be reviewed by 2020 having in mind an Union level of 30%. They also set a binding EU target of at least 40% domestic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, including a 30% reduction of emissions in non-ETS sectors.

Recital 11
(11) Manufacturers respond to the energy label by creating ever more efficient products. This technological development leads to products populating mainly the highest classes of the energy label. Further product differentiation may be necessary to allow customers a proper comparison, leading to the need to rescale labels. FAlthough for the frequency of such rescaling a timescale of approximately ten years would be appropriatdesirable, taking into account the need to avoid over burdening manufacturers, any rescaling should only be triggered by a documented overpopulation of the two highest classes. This Regulation should therefore lay down detailed arrangements for rescaling in order to maximise legal certainty for suppliers and dealers. A newly rescaled label should have empty topBefore any rescaling, the Commission should carry out a thorough preparatory study. A newly rescaled label should have a sufficiently low population of the top two classes to encourage technological progress and enable ever more efficient products to be developed and recognised. When a label is rescaled, confusion to customers should be avoided by replacing all energy labels within a short timeframe.

(16) IWithout prejudice to the Member States' market surveillance obligations, in order to facilitate the monitoring of compliance and to provide up-to-date market data for the regulatory process on revisions of product-specific labels and information sheets, suppliers should provide their required product compliance information electronically or in paper form to be incorporated in a database established and maintained by the Commission. The information should be made publicly available in order to provide information forto customers and to allow for alternative ways for dealers to receive labels in alternative ways. Market surveillance authorities should have access to the information in the database.
