Recital 11

(11) Directive 2009/125/EC established a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. Together with Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11), it has significantly reduced Union primary energy demand for products and it is estimated that those savings will continue to increase. Implementing measures adopted under Directive 2009/125/EC have also included requirements concerning circularity aspects, such as durability, repairability and recyclability. At the same time, instruments such as the EU Ecolabel, introduced by Regulation (EC) No 66/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12), or the EU green public procurement criteria set out in the communication of the Commission of 16 July 2008 on Public procurement for a better environment are broader in scope but have a reduced impact due to the limitations of voluntary approaches.
