Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget har til formål at fastsætte supplerende regler til ecodesignforordningen i dansk lovgivning. Ecodesignforordningen erstatter og viderefører principperne i ecodesigndirektivet med et væsentlig udvidet anvendelsesområde, som omfatter næsten alle fysiske produkter bortset fra produktkategorier som foder, fødevarer og lægemidler. Ecodesignforordningen har karakter af en rammelovgivning, og de specifikke krav vil , med få undtagelser, følge af de efterfølgende forordninger, som vedtages af Europa-Kommissionen. Med lovforslaget indføres kontrol- og håndhævelsesbestemmelser til krav, der vil følge af ecodesignforordningens forpligtelser, herunder erhvervsrettet regulering om bl.a. ecodesignkrav for bæredygtige produkter m.v.
