Cooperation on market surveillance of ecodesign and energy labelling in 2012 focused on barriers. The Ecodesign- and Energy labelling directives and regulations are dependent on good market surveillance. Cooperation is necessary for market surveillance to be efficient on a wide range of products. Countries can benefit from each other’s surveillance tests/checks and together cover more products and models, and in this way increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the market surveillance, which contributes to a fair playing field, technological development and increased competitiveness.
