Agreement on Ecodesign welcome, but ETRMA warns against legal uncertainty

The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre listed tyres as a priority product in its preliminary study for a new regulation that will mandate the Commission to develop secondary legislation on specific product groups. The European Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on this regulation last week. If confirmed, its inclusion of tyres “will reinforce industry’s long-standing commitment to make its products more sustainable and contribute to the European Union’s circular economy goals.”
