IPP - Integrated Product Policy
Integrated Product Policy:
CIAA comment on the EIPRO report

In the framework of the Commission Communication on Integrated Product Policy a full draft report of the study “Environmental Impact of Products” (EIPRO) was published on 29 April 2005.

The aim of this study is to identify the products with the greatest environmental impact from a life-cycle perspective and to set the stage for a second phase in which the potential for environmental improvement of these products will be assessed.

The EU food and drink industry – as represented by CIAA – would like to seize the opportunity of the current stakeholder consultation on EIPRO to address several important considerations regarding the distinctive position of food and drink products vis-à-vis the general IPP framework and to express concerns regarding the methodological shortcomings of the EIPRO draft report.
