Abstract
The European Union is pursuing a number of measures to improve end use equipment efficiency through a variety of policy instruments. One of the most effective policy options to achieve market transformation is minimum efficiency performance standards (MEPS). However, after the difficulties and controversy following the adoption of legislation for MEPS for domestic refrigerators/freezers, a new policy instrument, i.e. the negotiated agreements by manufacturers, has been used to achieve market transformation. Based on the positive experience made in two agreements, one for washing machines and one for TVs and VCRs, the European Commission and CEMEP, the European association of motor manufacturers, have negotiated a new agreement for electric motors.
