Recital 50

(50) The cement industry, as one of the most energy-, material- and carbon- intensive sectors, is currently responsible for around 7 % of global and 4 % of Union CO2 emissions, which makes it a key sector for alignment with the Paris agreement and the Union’s climate objectives as quickly as possible. While construction products, including cement, are to be covered under a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products (the ‘construction products Regulation’), they remain under the scope of this Regulation. To avoid a lack of product requirements urgently needed to reach our climate and environmental objectives, in the absence of adequate performance requirements and information requirements for such products under the construction products Regulation, the Commission should adopt delegated acts setting ecodesign requirements for cement not earlier than 31 December 2028 and not later than 1 January 2030.
