Parliament adopted comprehensive policy recommendations to achieve a carbon-neutral, sustainable, toxic-free and fully circular economy by 2050 at the latest.
Parliament urges the Commission to put forward new legislation in 2021, broadening the scope of the Ecodesign Directive to include non-energy-related products. This should set product-specific standards, so that products placed on the EU market perform well, are durable, reusable, can be easily repaired, are not toxic, can be upgraded and recycled, contain recycled content, and are resource- and energy-efficient. Other key recommendations are detailed here.

Austrian economy stagnated in first quarter
Austria's economy stagnated in the first quarter of 2013 as uncertainty dampened private consumption, the WIFO research institute said on Monday, confirming its preliminary estimate.
Gross domestic product fell 0.7 per cent year on year, it said in a statement.
Exports of good and services rose 0.2 per cent quarter on quarter, compared with a 0.2 per cent rise in the three months to end-December, according to WIFO, which prepares the data on behalf of the government.
