APPLiA supports the decarbonisation objectives of the Green Deal and appreciates the need for an ambitious package of policy measures. Nevertheless, the current proposals risk missing the goal. In this paper, we explain what should be modified or improved.
In particular, we would like to stress that product differentiation is required to drive consumers to buy the most efficient products that suit their needs. This aspect must be addressed apporting the necessary modifications to the working documents.
In the paper, we also highlight how electric water heaters can contribute to decarbonisation thanks to fair, meaningful, realistic and implementable ecodesign requirements.
