(9) An expiry date for this exemption should be set in accordance with Article 5(6) of Directive 2011/65/EU. While a small share of the lamp types CFL with integrated control gear (CFLi) are covered by the entry ‘Other light sources in scope not mentioned above’ in Table 1 of Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 from 1 September 2021. covered by this exemption are subject to the ecodesign criteria laid down in Annex II of Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 As stated in Recitals 9 and 10 of Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2020, no specific ecodesign requirements on mercury content are to be set in that Regulation. , which are applicable as of 1 September 2021, and will hence not be placed on the market any longer, the vast majority of lamps covered by the current exemption are not affected by the criteria under the above-mentioned Ecodesign Regulation. Consequently, the maximum possible expiry date of 18 months following the decision should be set with regard to the entire exemption entry in order to avoid unnecessary high socio-economic costs by market participants directly linked to the substitution of the latter category.
