lpv:translated text	". This report supports the agreement to extend the Energy Star programme, created by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), its owner, to improve the energy efficiency of office equipment. Back in 2000, the European Union and the United States signed a five-year agreement on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment. This agreement was renewed for a second period in 2006. The programme has been managed by the Commission and the EPA, who have focused on cooperating on the development of product specifications and the mutual recognition of products registered in the EU and the US. Parliament is now consenting to the conclusion of the agreement, with which the principle of mutual recognition will cease to apply, due to the introduction of third-party certification in the US. However, Parliament considers that the lighter self-registration procedures should be maintained in the EU in order to avoid additional costs to manufacturers, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises. As regards sales, the Commission assures us that the vast majority of European manufacturers tend to sell to the European market and that the large exporters have already been registered in the US for a long time. We voted in favour."@en1
