"I voted in favour of this report which was concerned with updating the energy efficiency labelling directive which was adopted in 2010. The Commission has proposed its revision, this time as a regulation to take effect in January 2017. One of the key reasons for this update is that the A-G energy efficiency scale label for consumers has become over-complicated, confusing and therefore misleading for consumers. At the top end (A category) there are several sub-categories A+ A++ A+++ which under this revision will be removed to simplify the labelling so consumers can understand them better. This will also be an incentive to manufacturers to achieve the A category of energy efficiency labelling. The original A-G energy scale will be restored and the same green to red colouring scheme will be retained. Therefore, as the provisions help to simplify matters for consumers, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
