(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, , 
Having regard to Directive 2009/125/EC of the Eu ropean Parliament and of the Council of 21 
October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-
related products, and in partic ular Article 15(1) thereof, 
After consulting the Ecodes ign Consultation Forum, 
Whereas: (1) After the adoption of Regulation (EC) No  245/2009 it appeared that  certain provisions 
of that Regulation should be amended in  order to avoid unintended impacts on the 
availability and performance of the products covered by that Regulation. 
(2) In addition, it is necessary to improve  coherence, as rega rds the requirements on 
product information, between on the one hand Commission Regulation (EC) No 
245/2009 of 18 March 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard  to ecodesign requirements for fluorescent 
lamps without integrated ballast, for high in tensity discharge lamps, and for ballasts 
and luminaires able to operate such lamp s, and repealing Dir ective 2000/55/EC of the 
European Parliament and of the Council
1, and on the other hand Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 244/2009 of 18 Marc h 2009 implementing Directive 2005/32/EC 
of the European Parliament and of the Counc il with regard to ec odesign requirements 
for non-directional household lamps2. 
 (3) The measures provided for in this Regul ation are in accordance with the opinion of the 
Committee established by Article 19(1) of Directive 2009/125/EC,
