".
I endorse this report and welcome the successful conclusion of negotiations for a new agreement extending the Energy Star programme, since the programme has been very effective in steering the office equipment market towards greater energy efficiency. However, I share the rapporteur’s opinion that while it is regrettable that the principle of mutual recognition will no longer apply due to the introduction of third-party certification in the United States, it is preferable to maintain the lighter self-registration procedure in the European Union in order to avoid additional costs to manufacturers, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises. Furthermore, it is noted that the Commission does not expect that the end of mutual recognition will negatively impact manufacturers who participate in the EU programme as they tend to focus almost entirely on the EU market. On the other hand, EU exports to the US would come mainly from large manufacturers who have registered their products already in the past in the US. In light of the above, I supported the conclusion of the agreement."@en1
