Division

The objectives for environmental improvement and market penetration will be set out in the light of the revision of the scheme. They will aim in particular:

1. (a)

   to widen the number of markets potentially open to eco-labelled products by progressively expanding the range of Eco-label product groups and make it more attractive to manufacturers;

2. (b)

   within each of these markets/product groups, to increase significantly the visibility of the Eco-label (i.e. the number of eco-labelled products on the market);

3. (c)

   to consider the overall environmental benefits of the scheme and its contribution in making consumption more sustainable;

4. (d)

   to further build on the potential synergies between Community Eco-label and EMAS.
