The Committee on the Environment, Climate and Food Safety submits the following to the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, as the committee responsible:

Amendment 1

Proposal for a directive

Recital 3 a (new)

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(3a) To ensure consistency and comparability of sustainability and safety-related information, the Commission and Member States should commit to fostering harmonised and interoperable data systems, preventing duplication and ensuring more efficient environmental monitoring and avoiding the proliferation of parallel or fragmented digital reporting frameworks.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a directive

Recital 4

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(4) The increasing importance of digitalisation in simplifying regulatory frameworks necessitates the reduction and modernisation of reporting requirements and economic operators’ obligations. In line with the efforts to accelerate digitalisation, it is essential to fully digitalise business-to-authority reporting and economic operators’ obligations when they do not affect protection and safety of consumers. Embracing digitalisation will not only simplify compliance procedures but also enhance the overall efficiency of the regulatory framework, ultimately benefiting both businesses and authorities alike.(4) The increasing importance of digitalisation in simplifying regulatory frameworks necessitates the reduction, harmonisation and modernisation of reporting requirements and economic operators’ obligations.

(7) Moreover, Directives 2000/14/EC, 2013/53/EU, 2014/32/EU, 2014/33/EU, 2014/34/EU and 2014/53/EU require that a copy of the EU declaration of conformity accompanies the product. Considering the evolution of digitalisation, it is essential to modernise this obligation by requiring that such EU declaration of conformity accompany the product in electronic form. The manufacturer should therefore make sure that the EU declaration of conformity is accessible through an internet address or a machine-readable code.(7) Moreover, Directives 2000/14/EC, 2013/53/EU, 2014/32/EU, 2014/33/EU, 2014/34/EU and 2014/53/EU require that a copy of the EU declaration of conformity accompanies the product. Considering the evolution of digitalisation, it is essential to modernise this obligation by requiring that such EU declaration of conformity accompany the product in electronic form. The manufacturer should therefore make sure that the EU declaration of conformity is directly accessible through an internet address or a machine-readable code.

Amendment 4

Proposal for a directive

Recital 8

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(8) Taking into account that in 2024 no less than 94% of EU households had access to internet, the paper format of the instructions for use accompanying the products under the scope of the Directives concerned is outdated and is not aligned with the current technologies, the practice of consumers nor with green objectives. Consequently, the possibility for a digital format of the instructions should be introduced in the Directives. This will allow manufacturers to instructions in digital format, if they wish to do so. Where manufacturers choose to provide instructions in digital format, in order to still protect the safety of consumers, the safety information, including instructions having impact on product safety, should be provided in paper format or marked on the product. Moreover, end-users should be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of the purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase.(8) Taking into account that in 2024 no less than 94% of EU households had access to internet, the paper format of the instructions accompanying the products under the scope of the Directives concerned is outdated and not aligned with the current technologies. The availability of product instructions in digital format offers an opportunity to align with current technologies and to contribute to sustainability objectives. Consequently, a digital format of the instructions should be introduced in the Directives concerned. This will allow manufacturers to provide instructions in digital format. Where manufacturers provide instructions in digital format, in order to still protect the safety of consumers, the safety information, including instructions having impact on product safety, should be provided in paper format or marked on the product, including how and where to access them digitally to ensure consumer safety. Instructions should be easily accessible via an internet link, free of charge, and without requiring users to provide personal data, download files or install additional applications. Moreover, end-users should be able to obtain a paper copy of the instructions for use or safety information, upon request – at the time of the purchase and for a certain period of time after their purchase. In any case, end-users should also be clearly informed, of their right to request the instructions or safety information in paper format.

Amendment 5

Proposal for a directive

Recital 8 a (new)

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(8a) The transition to the digital provision of safety and compliance information should remain proportionate and accessible for SMEs. The “digital by default” approach should be accompanied by SME-friendly safeguards that ensure simple, interoperable and cost-effective solutions, without requiring significant additional investments or resources.

Amendment 6

Proposal for a directive

Recital 10

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(10) In order to facilitate communication between economic operators and national competent authorities and end-users, the indication of a digital contact of the manufacturer on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of market surveillance and to expedite the process of tracing non-compliant products. Currently, economic operators are required to indicate their postal address on the product, but this is not always sufficient to ensure that competent authorities can establish rapid contact. It is therefore necessary to require economic operators to provide both a postal address and a digital contact on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity. Such digital contact should be defined in the Directives.(10) In order to facilitate communication between economic operators and national competent authorities and end-users, the indication of a digital contact of the manufacturer on the product and in the EU declaration of conformity is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of market surveillance and to expedite the process of tracing non-compliant products.

Such digital contact should be defined in the Directives concerned. The digital contact should allow end-users and competent authorities to contact economic operators directly. For end-users, the digital contact should be accessible free of charge and without requiring user’s additional steps, such as the need to provide personal data, download files or install additional applications.

Proposal for a directive

Recital 13

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment
Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(13) The current Union standardisation framework which is based on Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council represents the framework by default to elaborate standards that provide for a presumption of conformity with the relevant essential health and safety requirements or with other requirements. However, where no harmonised standards exist or where they are insufficient, the Commission should be able to adopt implementing acts establishing common specifications for the essential health and safety or other requirements, as an exceptional fall-back solution to facilitate the manufacturer’s obligation to comply with those health and safety or other requirements.(13) The current Union standardisation framework which is based on Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council represents the framework by default to elaborate standards that provide for a presumption of conformity with the relevant essential health and safety requirements or with other requirements.
