Full title of the Action:
Implementing EU Appliance Policy in Central and Eastern Europe
The CEECAP – Implementing EU Appliance Policy in Central and Eastern Europe project was developed with the aim of supporting Central and Eastern European countries in creating suitable conditions for implementing appliance labelling and efficiency policies in accordance with EU Appliance efficiency legislation and programmes.
The project started in early 2006 and lasted for 30 months. It was built upon the previous CEECAP, ELAR and other projects with the involvement of international organisations, such as the IEA, and the European Commission.
CEECAP aimed to increase expertise and experience the verification and enforcement, market introduction aspects, strengthen relationships between stakeholders and the start up of national actions to improve energy efficiency.
Main activities were the identification of the national experts and decision maker leaders, their training, design and preparation of national appliance labelling and efficiency actions, set-up of a national multi-disciplinary committees as a forum for discussion about best practices, cooperation opportunities and knowledge transfer.
The results are an improved policy infrastructure for appliance labelling and efficiency and the future EU policies; a verification infrastructure for product and retailer compliance; collaborative activities to increase the consumer response to labels; and the establishment of a platform for information exchange and transfer.
