lpv:translated text	". The Energy Star programme was established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve the energy efficiency of office equipment. In 2000 the European Union and the United States of America signed an agreement on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment. The agreement, which was renewed in 2006 for a second five-year period, provides for the setting up of the Energy Star programme in the EU. Accordingly, the programme has been jointly managed by the EPA and the Commission, including cooperating on the development of product specifications and the mutual recognition of products registered in the EU and the US. Under the new agreement, there will be two separate product registration systems in the EU, which maintains self-certification by manufacturers, and the US, which decided to move to third-party certification. Consequently, the principle of mutual recognition will no longer be applicable. Furthermore, provisions regarding the respective responsibilities of the Commission and the Member States in the enforcement of the programme were clarified. There are no other substantial changes in relation to the current text, hence my vote."@en1
