This briefing examines the implementation of the EU Energy Labelling Framework and the related Tyre Labelling Regulation in the context of the wider simplification agenda of the Commission for 2026 and the omnibus on energy-product legislation expected on 24 June 2026. Energy labelling remains an important instrument for enabling consumers to compare products, supporting energy savings, and encouraging innovation in more efficient products. Available evidence suggests that EU action has contributed effectively to the objectives of the policy. However, implementation has been weakened by delays in updating product-specific rules and labels, persistent non-compliance by manufacturers and retailers, and uneven enforcement, particularly in online sales and for products imported from third countries. Key issues include reducing unnecessary administrative burden while preserving consumer trust in labels; improving the usability and interoperability of the energy-product database; clarifying responsibilities across the supply chain, including for retailers, online marketplaces, importers and installers; and ensuring that label rescaling is timely, predictable and understandable for consumers. Stakeholder views point to a need for simplification that improves compliance and usability without weakening the visibility, comparability and enforceability of energy information at the point of purchase.
