art_18__para_3

3. The Commission shall adopt a working plan and make it publicly available, together with the relevant preparatory documents (‘working plan’). The working plan shall set out a list of product groups which are to be prioritised for the setting of ecodesign requirements and the estimated timelines for their setting. That list shall include product aspects and product groups which are to be considered priorities for the setting of horizontal ecodesign requirements, as well as the unsold consumer products, if any, in relation to which the introduction of a prohibition of destruction by economic operators is to be considered, based on the consolidated information provided pursuant to Article 26 and any other available evidence. The Commission shall in particular consider the inclusion of electrical and electronic equipment when it first identifies the products, if any, in relation to which it will consider introducing a prohibition of destruction by economic operators. The working plan shall cover a period of at least three years and shall be regularly updated. When adopting or updating the working plan, the Commission shall take into account the criteria set out in paragraphs 1 and 2.
