THE EUROPEAN COMMI SSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ,
Having regard to Directive 2010/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 
May2010 on the indication by labelling and standard product information of the consumption 
of energy and other resources b y energy -related products1, and in particular Article s 7 and 10 
thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2010/30/EU requires the Commission to laydown details relating to the
labelling of energy -related products bymeans of delegated acts which contain
measures that ensure that potential end -users are  provided with the information 
specified on the label and in the product fiche  in case of distance selling ,including 
mail order, b y catalogue, telem arketing or through the I nternet .
(2) Currently , itis specified that in the case of distance selling the information on the label 
is to be presented in a specific order . However , there is currentl y no requirement to 
display the label itself orthe product fiche. Therefore, the ability of end-users to make 
better informed decisions about their purchases is affected in the case of distance 
selling because they areneither guided b y the colour scale of the label, nor are they 
informed as to which energy labelling class is the best for the product group or
provided with the additional information which is contained in the fiche .
(3) Distance selling through the Internet is increasing lybecoming a significant share of 
the sales of energy -related products . When selling t hrough the Internet ,it is possible to 
display the label and the fiche without involving an additional administrative burden.
Therefore, suppliers should display the label and fiche when selling through the 
Interne t.
(4) For the label and fiche to be display ed on the Internet, suppliers should for each model 
of an energy -related product provide dealers with an electronic version of the label and 
the fiche .
(5) Since display ingthe label and the fiche next to the product may require more screen 
space, itshould be allowed to have them display ed using a nested display .
