AskEric

Embarrassed by EU information? Not sure where to find that EU document mentioned in the news?
We've all been there, but now our AskEric enquiry
service, exclusive to EIA Members, can save your blushes by confidentially answering all manner of questions.
Visit the website to
logon and send your AskEric question.
This week, Eric was asked why Regulation 1980/2000 on the eco-label award scheme doesn't include a picture of the label design.
The answer is that the text which was found was an html version of the Regulation. The pdf version does include an example of the design (see Annex III).
Because an image can be anything from a drawing of a warning sign to information set out in the form of a table, Eric's advice is that it is usually better
to look at pdf texts of Regulations, Directives etc.
