               Can strict compliance with the Vacuum Cleaner Regulation (1) (without supplementing the label as defined in Annex II thereof with information about the test conditions which lead to the classification in an energy efficiency class in accordance with Annex I) be regarded as a misleading omission within the meaning of Article 7 of the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive? (2)
