Question for written answer 聽E-001045/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Beatrice Timgren (ECR)

In January, a proposal was published to amend the Commission regulation implementing the ecodesign directive for solid fuel local space heaters. The changes include a stricter carbon monoxide emission limit for local space heaters, as well as a requirement for all local space heaters to incorporate an automatic combustion control system. That requirement presupposes a power supply, meaning that new stoves will have to be connected either to the electricity grid or to a battery. Manufacturers are now warning that the requirements are unrealistic and will not be achievable without compromising functionality.

• 1.How and to what extent were the following interests taken into account when the Commission drafted the proposal? (a) Impact on civil defence, given that local space heaters need to be connected to the electricity grid and therefore become dependent on the state of the electricity grid in times of crisis and war; (b) Impact on European competitiveness and offshoring, given increased development costs and stringent requirements.
• 2.What conclusion has the Commission reached from its assessment as to whether the changes will lead to higher prices for consumers to purchase stoves?
• 3.Does the Commission intend to proceed with the proposal as it stands at present?
