Summary

The first fourteen targets of the European Union's (EU) Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive are decided and consultants have been selected to look at these initial "implementing measures".  American companies are encouraged to contact the consultants doing the studies during the exploratory phase in order to get their input considered in the final report.  There is nothing to prohibit U.S. firms from fully participating in the studies and thus having a voice in crafting the legislation that will eventually affect their products and their exports to the European Union.
