of 3 October 2012

implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for household tumble driers

(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 European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products (1), and in particular Article 15(1) thereof,

After consulting the Ecodesign Consultation Forum,

Whereas:

| (1) | Under Directive 2009/125/EC, ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Under Directive 2009/125/EC, ecodesign requirements should be set by the Commission for energy-related products representing significant volumes of sales and trade, having significant environmental impact and presenting significant potential for improvement in terms of their environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.

| (2) | Article 16(2)(a) of Directive 2009/125/EC provides that the Commission should, as appropriate, introduce an implementing measure for domestic appliances, including household tumble driers. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Household combined washer-driers have particular characteristics and should therefore be exempted from the scope of this Regulation.

| (6) | The environmental aspect of household tumble driers, identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation, is energy consumption in the use phase. The annual electricity consumption of household tumble driers is estimated to have been 21 TWh in the European Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual electricity consumption is predicted to be 31 TWh in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the energy consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be significantly reduced. |

The environmental aspect of household tumble driers, identified as significant for the purposes of this Regulation, is energy consumption in the use phase. The annual electricity consumption of household tumble driers is estimated to have been 21 TWh in the European Union in 2005. Unless specific measures are taken, annual electricity consumption is predicted to be 31 TWh in 2020. The preparatory study shows that the energy consumption of products subject to this Regulation can be significantly reduced.

| (7) | The preparatory study shows that requirements regarding other ecodesign parameters as referred to in Annex I, Part 1, to Directive 2009/125/EC are not necessary, as the energy consumption of household tumble driers in the use phase is by far the most important environmental aspect. In accordance with Article 6(2) of Directive 2009/125/EC, Member States shall not prohibit, restrict or impede the placing on the market and/or putting into service, within their territories, of household tumble driers on grounds of ecodesign requirements relating to those ecodesign parameters referred to in Annex I, Part 1, of that Directive for which this Regulation provides that no ecodesign requirement is necessary. |

2.   CALCULATION OF THE WEIGHTED CONDENSATION EFFICIENCY

The condensation efficiency of a programme is the ratio between the mass of moisture condensed and collected in the container of a condenser household tumble drier and the mass of moisture removed from the load by the programme, the latter being the difference between the mass of the wet test load before drying and the mass of the test load after drying. For calculating the weighted condensation efficiency, the average condensation efficiency of the standard cotton programme at both full and partial load is considered.

The weighted condensation efficiency (Ct
  ) of a programme is calculated as a percentage and rounded to the nearest whole percent as:

Formula

where:

—   Cdry
  = average condensation efficiency of the standard cotton programme at full load,

—   Cdry1⁄2
  = average condensation efficiency of the standard cotton programme at partial load.

The average condensation efficiency C is calculated from the condensation efficiencies of test runs and expressed as a percentage:

Formula

where:

| — | n is the number of test runs, comprising at least four valid test runs for the selected programme, |

ANNEX III

Verification procedure for market surveillance purposes

For the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, measurements and calculations shall be made using harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union, or other reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, which take into account the generally recognised state of the art methods, and whose results are deemed to be of low uncertainty.

For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements laid down in Annex I, Member State authorities shall test a single household tumble drier. If the measured parameters do not meet the values declared in the technical documentation file within the meaning of Article 4(2) by the manufacturer within the ranges set out in Table 1, the measurements shall be carried out on three more household tumble driers. The arithmetic mean of the measured values of those three household tumble driers shall meet the requirements within the ranges set out in Table 1.

Otherwise, the model and all other equivalent household tumble driers models shall be considered not to comply with the requirements laid down in Annex I.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 5 October 2012

on the recognition of the legal and supervisory framework of Canada as equivalent to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on credit rating agencies

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2012/630/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on credit rating agencies (1), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 12 June 2009 the Commission granted a mandate to the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), whose tasks have been assumed by the European Securities and Markets Authority established on 1 January 2011 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (2) (ESMA), requesting their advice with regard to the technical assessment of the legal and supervisory framework of Canada in respect of credit rating agencies. |

(1)

On 12 June 2009 the Commission granted a mandate to the Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR), whose tasks have been assumed by the European Securities and Markets Authority established on 1 January 2011 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 establishing a European Supervisory Authority (European Securities and Markets Authority) (2) (ESMA), requesting their advice with regard to the technical assessment of the legal and supervisory framework of Canada in respect of credit rating agencies.

| (2) | In its advice delivered on 18 April 2012, ESMA suggested that the Canadian legal and supervisory framework in respect of credit rating agencies be considered equivalent to the EU regulatory regime for credit rating agencies. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In its advice delivered on 18 April 2012, ESMA suggested that the Canadian legal and supervisory framework in respect of credit rating agencies be considered equivalent to the EU regulatory regime for credit rating agencies.

| (3) | Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the fulfilment of three conditions needs to be assessed in order to consider a third country legal and supervisory framework equivalent to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, the fulfilment of three conditions needs to be assessed in order to consider a third country legal and supervisory framework equivalent to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009.

| (4) | According to the first condition, credit rating agencies in the third country must be subject to authorisation or registration and subject to effective supervision and enforcement on an ongoing basis. Canada has a comprehensive and legally binding framework in relation to CRAs and the use of credit ratings. National Instrument 25-101 Designated Rating Organizations (DRO) was introduced on 27 January 2012 and became effective from 20 April 2012. This framework requires a credit rating agency to be registered with the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and provides for ongoing supervision of the credit rating agency by the CSA. For the purposes of carrying out its oversight tasks, the CSA is endowed with a wide and comprehensive range of powers. The CSA has the power to require access to books, records and documents kept by credit rating agencies, and to request other relevant information, including telephone records and data traffic. The CSA is also empowered to conduct on-site inspections and inquire into and examine books and records. Moreover, the CSA may bring proceedings against a credit rating agency in the event of a breach of National Instrument 25-101 using any of the powers which are available in the event of a breach of securities’ legislation. Among other powers, the CSA may make an order revoking the designated status of a DRO, impose a fine up to 1 000 000 CAD for each failure to comply with its legal obligations, and require a DRO to rectify any past non-compliance. All CRAs based in Canada were registered as DROs by the CSA on 30 April 2012 and have since then been subject to the CSA’s ongoing supervision. The Ontario Securities Commission which acts as lead supervisor within the CSA intends to conduct on-site inspections at least every two years. The cooperation agreement concluded between ESMA and the CSA provides for information exchange with regard to enforcement and supervisory measures taken against cross border CRAs. |

| (5) | According to the second condition, credit rating agencies in the third country must be subject to legally binding rules which are equivalent to those set out in Articles 6 to 12 of and Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. The Canadian legal and supervisory framework meets the objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 in respect of the management of conflicts of interest, the organisational processes and procedures that a credit rating agency needs to have in place, the quality of ratings and of rating methodologies, the disclosure of credit ratings and the general and periodic disclosure of credit rating activities. Therefore, the Canadian framework provides for equivalent protection in terms of integrity, transparency, good governance of credit rating agencies and reliability of the credit rating activities. |

Therefore, the Canadian framework provides for equivalent protection in terms of integrity, transparency, good governance of credit rating agencies and reliability of the credit rating activities.

| (6) | According to the third condition, the regulatory regime in the third country must prevent interference by the supervisory authorities and other public authorities of that third country with the content of credit ratings and methodologies. In this respect, Section B of Appendix A to National Instrument 25-101 requires credit rating agencies to establish a committee responsible for implementing a rigorous and formal process for issuing and reviewing the methodologies, models and key rating assumptions they use. Neither the CSA nor any other public authority is empowered to interfere in this process or with the content of credit ratings, or rating methodologies. |

| (7) | In view of the factors examined, the conditions laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 can be considered to be met by the Canadian legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies. Therefore, the Canadian legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies should be considered equivalent to the legal and supervisory framework established by Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009. The Commission, in cooperation with ESMA, will continue monitoring the evolution of the Canadian legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies and the fulfilment of the conditions on the basis of which this decision has been taken. |
