COMMISSION DECISION
of 26 March 2008

(notified under document number C(2008) 1222)

(2008/277/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 on a revised Community eco-label award scheme (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1) thereof,
After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The ecological criteria set out in the Commission Decision 2001/405/EC of 4 May 2001 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to tissue paper products (2) expires on 4 May 2008. |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 a timely review has been carried out of the ecological criteria, as well as of the related assessment and verification requirements, established by this Decision. |
|
(3) |
In the light of the review of those criteria and requirements, it is appropriate to prolong the period of validity of the ecological criteria and the requirements for Decision 2001/405/EC for a period of 12 months. |
|
(4) |
Since the review obligation pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000 concerns only the ecological criteria and assessment and verification requirements, it is appropriate that Decision 2001/405/EC remains in effect. |
|
(5) |
Decision 2001/405/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee instituted by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1980/2000, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Article 3 of Decision 2001/405/EC is replaced by the following:
‘Article 3
The ecological criteria for the product group tissue paper, as well as the related assessment and verification requirements, shall be valid until 4 May 2009.’
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 26 March 2008.
