EC commits EU to Energy Star
EU adds another star.

“The requirement of the new Energy Star Regulation to apply ambitious energy efficiency criteria in the public procurement of office equipment will further push manufacturers to put efficient equipment on the market while making good use of public money. This achievement proves the EU’s commitment to turn ambitious energy efficiency goals into reality”, remarked Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs.
