Dear Commissioner Dan Jørgensen,

We are writing to respectfully urge the Commission to reinstate the practice of distributing Ecodesign and Energy Label draft Commission proposals well in advance of the Ecodesign and Consultation Forum meetings.

This approach has long been a cornerstone of transparent and effective policy development within the EU legislative process. Timely access to these documents enables industry experts, NGOs, Member State representatives and other stakeholders to prepare thoroughly and provide informed and constructive input during the meetings.

The resulting dialogue has avoided errors, improved the quality of proposed measures and avoided additional delays in the process. Additionally, it helped avoid unnecessary discussions during meetings.
