6. What were the challenges? • (Too ambitious?) planning in the past • (Complex?) preparatory & adoption procedure • (Significant?) increase of implementing and communication activities • Checks of the legislation • Guidelines, memos, press releases, FAQs • Standardisation process (39 standardisation mandates launched) • Calls for tenders, contracts, requests for service • ADCO and WG meetings, workshops, conferences • Strategies, roadmaps, policy documents • Replies to queries sent by the EP, market surveillance authorities, stakeholders (NGOs, industry), media, citizens

7. How can we improve the situation? • (Too ambitious?) planning in the past • More reliable planning that takes into account available resources as well as ongoing activities • (Complex?) preparatory & adoption procedure • The study on the revision of the Ecodesign Directive will assess the procedure and identify its weakest points • Setting tighter ecodesign requirements for a longer time period (e.g. BAT as Tier III) • Fast track procedure for the expected reviews • (Significant?) increase of implementing and communication activities • Outsourcing of non-legislative tasks (e.g. communication – ‘helpdesk’) • Reinforced standardisation process (e.g. NGOs, NA consultants) • Better support to and follow-up of national market surveillance activities • Support of other actors: EACI, JRC, Member States and stakeholders
