Brussels, 12/06/2009 (Agence Europe) - Meeting in Luxembourg on 12 June, the Energy Council adopted a progress report (Council document 8989/09), drafted by the Czech Presidency, summarising the work done so far on the energy efficiency package proposed as part of the energy security and solidarity package brought forward by the European Commission in November 2008 (see EUROPE 9782). This comprises the revised draft directive on the labelling of products to extend the scope of Directive 92/75/EC which covers only domestic goods, the draft directive on the labelling of tyres and the revised directive on the energy performance of buildings which clarifies, strengthens and extends the scope of Directive 2002/91/EC. The progress report also lists the implementing measures submitted by the Commission, under the regulatory procedure with scrutiny, to the Council and the European Parliament under this Presidency in the first half of the year, in the context of the framework directives on eco-design requirements and energy labelling. Swedish Minister Maud Olofsson told her counterparts that she hoped the three proposals pending would be adopted under Swedish Presidency, at December's Energy Council. Sweden has said that energy efficiency will be one of its energy priorities (see EUROPE 9904). (E.H./transl.rt)
