"As stated in the report, the Ecolabel is a voluntary mark whose purpose is to promote, at European level, the dissemination of high-efficiency products which have a low ecological impact throughout their life-cycle.
To this end, certain eco-quality standards have been fixed (we shall here call them ‘criteria’) for each of a number of specific product categories. There are at present 26 product categories, 622 licences and over 3 000 products and services – detergents, paper, clothing (including shoes and textiles), tourism, camping products, etc. – for which Ecolabels have been awarded.
This mark and the flower that symbolises it are dynamising elements which, thanks to the constant updating of the environmental criteria for the products for which they are awarded, encourages enterprises to operate a virtuous cycle of effort with a view to the overall raising of the eco-quality of products on the market.
However, there seem to be several shortcomings in the current system, bearing in mind the experience obtained over the almost 10 years of existence of this certification, which points to the need for more decisive intervention with a view to dealing with certain shortcomings in the system.
It is in this context that the Commission has presented a proposal for a new regulation, which the Members are trying to improve."@en1
