EEB | Comments on the draft report for IMCO on Construction Products Regulation

Following the release of Christian Doleschal’s draft report on the Construction Products Regulation, and considering amendments being tabled until mid-December, the European Environmental Bureau submit its views.

The EEB is particularly concerned about the following directions taken in the report to be considered in the European Parliament:

(*) A greater push towards standardisation, at the expense of transparency and policy debate;
(*) A clear choice to protect industry’s interests with too little to no consideration for consumers or the environment;
(*) A weakening of enforcement and market surveillance provisions, as well as the regime of green public procuremen.
