lpv:translated text	". The report by Béla Kovács on the recommendation in question concerns the draft Council decision on the signing and conclusion of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the European Union on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment. The agreement between the EU and the US expired on 31 December 2011. However, bilateral negotiations were concluded during the previous month with a view to continuing the Energy Star programme for a further five years. The programme, established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve the energy efficiency of office equipment, was implemented in the EU in 2006, when the EU-US Agreement on the coordination of energy-efficiency labelling programmes for office equipment was renewed. In the meantime, the US decided to move to third-party certification and the principle of mutual certification ceased to apply. In view of the huge importance of environmental matters, in particular with regard to energy saving, and bearing in mind that the Energy Star programme has proved very effective in the changes it has introduced to improve the energy efficiency of office equipment, I voted in favour of this recommendation."@en1
