LightingEurope Launches Essential Compendium for EU Green Deal Legislation to Support Members in Compliance

This document supports understanding of essential rules for effective enforcement and fair competition, in line with the LightingEurope 2030 strategy. While it does not replace detailed legislative analysis, it is a valuable resource for compliance and strategic planning.

Elena Scaroni, LightingEurope’s Secretary General, stated: “Our team has actively participated in the legislative process and is now assisting members with implementation by providing the knowledge and insight we have accumulated over the years in a single document. By understanding these requirements, companies can not only comply but also grab new opportunities in the green economy.”

The Compendium includes links to official EU texts and commented summaries.

Teresa Selvaggio, LightingEurope’s Director of Public Affairs added: “The summaries and comments are based on input from our staff, other trade associations we regularly work with, and even feedback from EU officials during legislative discussions.”

The information represents LightingEurope’s reading of the requirements and does not constitute an official interpretation of the legislative texts.
