Welcome
Orgalime In-Brief edition 37. European industries, working together within the Alliance for a Competitive European Industry (ACEI), have just met Commission President Barroso to stress the central role that European industry can and should play in Europe's economic recovery.
The Alliance remitted a note to President Barroso, urging the European Commission to step up its efforts to make Europe as attractive as it needs to be for investors, and particularly industrial investors, so as to ensure a recovery of the real economy, with a perspective for growth and jobs [ more] Please continue to let other colleagues know about In-Brief by using the 'forward e-mail' link at the bottom of the page. |

EP IMCO vote on the alignment of 9 Directives with New Legislative Framework
|
Orgalime offers thanks to Rapporteur Ms Roithová, the Shadow Rapporteurs and other interested Members of the Internal Market and Consumer Affairs (IMCO) Committee of the European Parliament for their constructive efforts to further amend the European Commission proposal on the alignment of the 9 Directives with the New Legislative Framework, which should ensure: - Legal certainty
- Enhanced consumer protection
- Cutting red tape
- Better market surveillance for our products

| RoHS2: Impact Assessment of Article 2.2 | |
Following the last BioIS stakeholder meeting on the RoHS2 scope impact assessment study, Orgalime submitted additional input to the current discussion on impacts of article 2.2 RoHS2 and the notion of "making available" in particular. This issue is relevant for any equipment newly in scope following the recast of the Directive: - If BioIS maintained its understanding that new equipment could fall either under category 11 or any other category of Annex I of RoHS2, the given scope of the impact assessment on category 11 "only" is too narrow and its results may be misleading and incomplete as all other affected product categories would not be taken into account.

| Recyclable products - French draft Decree on set of common symbols |
France has recently notified the European Commission about a project of decree introducing new marking obligations on products and packaging falling under extended producer responsibility and which include separate waste collection instructions. Orgalime has expressed deep concern regarding the notification - a level playing field for companies as well as legal certainty, is in our view a prerequisite for leading sectors of our industries to develop and offer innovative safe, high-quality and high-performance products on highly competitive world markets. In this context, national initiatives shall not result in restrictions of free movement of goods in the European Internal Market and an infringement of internal market principles [ more] |

Eco design requirements for domestic and commercial ovens, hobs, grills and domestic range hoods
|
In view of the European institutions proceedings on Eco design requirements for domestic and commercial kitchen appliances, Orgalime presented additional comments to the debate that complement earlier submissions and points raised at the meeting of the Consultation Forum.
Orgalime felt the need to comment on this particular draft implementation measures as, in contrast to other implementation measures, it affects several branches of Orgalime's constituency and raises the horizontal concern of arriving at a proper definition of the products covered [more]

| Orgalime's updated bestseller - S 2012 has just been released! |
As the international sale of products represents the core business of companies in the mechanical and electrical engineering industries in Europe, Orgalime soon recognised that these companies would benefit from a set of General Conditions for the supply of products, which could be used worldwide. The original version of the Orgalime Supply Conditions was first published in 1992 (S 92 conditions) and these conditions have ever since been among Orgalime's most widely used legal publications. They are used in a very large-scale with well over 1,000,000 hard copies sold since their publication and they are the biggest pull to our licensing website, where hundreds of companies from all over the world have purchased a licence for the use of Orgalime's standardised conditions in electronic format [ more ]
