The European Parliament adopted, unamended under the codecision procedure, the Council common position for adopting a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other essential parameters.
Parliament takes note of the Commission statement annexed to the legislative resolution. According to the declaration, “the Commission supports the use of Community instruments such as the Intelligent Energy-Europe Programme to contribute to initiatives that raise end-users" awareness of the benefits of tyre labelling. By June 2012, the Commission will make available, in particular to consumer organisations and tyre manufacturers on its ec.europa website, information explaining each of the components of the tyre label and a harmonised fuel savings calculator”.
