Environmental Project no. 594, 2000

Assessment of Criteria Development within the EU  Eco-labelling Scheme 

Abstract
The project compares twelve studies, which create the basis for criteria development under the EU scheme.  The project discusses LCA methodological issues across the studies and implicates energy and waste water treatment too as well as access to data sources.   The project points out some conflict areas in the criteria development.  For instance covering a great market share conflicts with having a well defined product group as well as having an iterative process within international negotiations.

Abstract in Danish
Projektet sammenligner tolv studier som danner basis for udvikling af EU's miljømærke kriterier.  Projektet behandler LCA-metodiske emner på tværs af studierne og inddrager desuden emner som energi og spildevandshåndtering samt adgang til datakilder.   Projektet peger på forskellige konflikter i udviklingen af kriterier. Bl.a.   at skulle dække en stor markedsandel med et kriteriesæt og samtidig have en veldefineret produktgruppe samt at have en iterativ proces i indpasset i internationale forhandlinger.
