Response to Revision of the 'New Legislative Framework'

2 Sept 2025

ITI welcomes the European Commissions initiative to review and update the New Legislative Framework (NLF) as part of its broader efforts to future-proof EU product legislation. In our view, the NLF has proven to be a strong and stable foundation for harmonized product regulation across the EU, and we believe that its core architecture remains fit for purpose. That said, there is a case for selective and targeted updates, not to reinvent the framework, but to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in the face of rapid technological and regulatory change. In particular, we urge the Commission to place digitalization and regulatory coherence at the heart of this revision. We believe that doing so is essential to achieving the Commissions own goals of simplification, sustainability, and competitiveness, and to be aligned with the broader green and digital transitions. More details on the ITI's position are provided in the attached document.

Response to Revision of the Standardisation Regulation

21 Jul 2025

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) appreciates the opportunity to respond to the European Commissions Call for Evidence concerning the potential revision of Regulation 1025/2012 on European standardization. As a representative of the global technology sector, ITI supports the Commissions objective to ensure the European standardization system is fit for purpose, particularly in light of rapid innovation cycles, evolving policy priorities, and increasing global interdependence in standardization processes. However, as we have consistently stated in our earlier contributions, we urge caution in approaching this revision through legal reform alone. In ITIs view, the main shortcomings of the current standardization framework lie not in the legal text of Regulation 1025/2012, but in how it is implemented. The challenges faced today, such as the slowdown in OJEU citations and the procedural complexities, stem largely from operational inefficiencies rather than regulatory design. These issues not only hinder the availability of harmonized standards but also risk undermining Europes ability to leverage mechanisms for cooperation in standards development, including the Vienna Agreement, which has been crucial in avoiding duplication and supporting global coherence. Any review of the Regulation must begin with EU customers in mind by addressing the persistent practical and procedural bottlenecks that hinder its effectiveness and the performance of the system it governs. You can find ITI's more detailed feedback and recommendations in the attached paper.

Response to International Digital Strategy

21 May 2025

ITI welcomes the European Commissions focus on the international dimension of the digital economy and the opportunity to provide feedback on an International Digital Strategy for Europe. As a global tech association, ITI has long advocated for open and reliable digital trade opportunities, multilateral cooperation, and the fostering of an inclusive, rules-based international digital environment. Europe plays a critical role in this landscape, both as a leading exporter and importer of technology and digital services, and as a trusted partner in shaping global digital governance. We urge the Commission to maintain a cooperative and open approach, reaffirming the EUs commitment to building international partnerships and advancing shared digital goals. ITI has consistently supported initiatives like the EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC), which has served as a model for international digital cooperation as well as the Digital Partnerships and Digital Dialogues. The establishment of similar frameworks globally can significantly enhance the EUs role as a key facilitator of digital innovation, particularly if those frameworks are utilized to secure clear, meaningful outcomes. Importantly, such cooperation will contribute to the EUs economic security objectives, in line with the partnering pillar and contributing to the promoting EU competitiveness pillar of the European Economic Security Strategy. We support the expansion of trade agreements, strengthening cybersecurity cooperation and policy alignment, and fostering diversification and redundancy in supply chains, prioritizing resilience over protectionism. Attracting investment in sustainable data centers, advanced computing infrastructure, and AI capacities represents a key dimension, as these technologies form the foundation of digital competitiveness. At the same time, it is important to maintain an open approach that ensures continued access to these critical technologies from global partners. We also strongly encourage a firm commitment to preventing internet fragmentation and maintaining secure, open, and interoperable data flows. These principles are essential to preserving the global internet and ensuring that digital transformation remains inclusive and innovative.

Response to EU implementation of recent amendments to the Annexes of the Basel Convention regarding trade in e-waste (2)

3 Jul 2024

ITI, as explained further in the position paper attached, encourages the EU to maintain green list procedures for non-hazardous e-waste shipped within the EU for recovery operations. Retaining current non-hazardous e-waste codes and related green list classifications for low-risk intra-EU shipments destined for recovery will promote circularity within the EU by, e.g., allowing valuable materials to move efficiently to EU jurisdictions with facilities that have the capacity for environmentally sound management (ESM) of e-wastes and critical resource recovery. These shipments would continue to be subject to the general information requirements of Article 18 in the WSR, providing transparency and assurances of environmentally sound management of waste. Further, a green list approach for low-risk e-waste would mitigate environmental and business risks associated with delayed or trapped shipments in EU Member States without highly specialized facilities for recycling and resource recovery (where there may be risk of, e.g., mismanagement, speculative accumulation of waste materials, improper storage, and/or lower-value end-of-life treatment). Applying PIC (amber list) controls to all intra-EU shipments of non-hazardous e-wastes, on the other hand, would introduce new trade frictions and implementation challenges for competent authorities and the regulated community. In light of the current practice under the WSR, we anticipate that the regulatory burden would increase significantly if all e-wastes are subject to control under the new Basel entries even for intra-EU shipments (i.e., shipments that are taking place entirely within the EU single market). We note that Member States will also need capacity to manage the additional growth in PIC notices and other requirements that will apply to shipments of e-waste into or out of the EU. Ultimately, keeping EU non-hazardous e-waste codes and their associated green list classifications strikes the right balance between ensuring sound environmental management and facilitating trade in valuable non-hazardous materials within the EU single market. To conclude, in the event the EU opts to not retain green list classification of non-hazardous e-waste shipments within the EU (i.e., starts subjecting these shipments to amber controls), the ICT sector urges the EU to avoid compounding challenges with the current already-strained PIC system. The EU could consider, for instance, a phased implementation approach for new amber controls e.g., subjecting higher-risk hazardous waste shipments within the EU to the PIC system first, and delaying amber controls for lower-risk intra-EU shipments until the electronic PIC system is functioning and can accommodate dramatically higher volumes of PIC requests. ITI remains open to collaborating and engaging in dialogue with the European Commission and other stakeholders to further promote the goals of circularity and sustainability and appreciates the Commissions consideration of the mentioned aspects.

Response to Evaluation of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Cybersecurity Certification Framework

15 Sept 2023

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) - the global association of the tech industry - welcomes this opportunity to provide feedback to the European Commission on the performance of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), as well as on the impact, effectiveness, and efficiency of the provisions of European cybersecurity certification framework. ITI appreciates the efforts of the European Commission and ENISA to protect data, systems, and infrastructure from anomalous behaviour and prevent unauthorised access. However, we see several areas for improvement as ENISAs role is becoming more prominent as it is taking on additional responsibilities pursuant to new legislation which has recently been adopted or are currently being discussed by the co-legislators, in particular the NIS 2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). In particular, we believe that: ENISAs work requires increased transparency and collaborative processes; ENISAs status as a technical and independent agency should be guaranteed; ENISA needs more resources to support an increasing workload, work collaboratively with international partners and to be more visible in international debates. Please find attached our detailed comments. We remain at your disposal for any questions you may have.

Response to Revision of the NIS Directive

13 Aug 2020

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) appreciates the opportunity to submit the attached comments to the European Commission on the NIS Directive combined evaluation roadmap/inception impact assessment. ITI is the global association of the tech industry. Our membership comprises over 73 leading technology and innovation companies from all corners of the ICT industry, including hardware, software, digital services, semiconductor, network equipment, cybersecurity, and Internet companies. We welcome the European Commission’s focus on revising the NIS Directive and the plan to publish its review of the functioning of the Directive pursuant to its obligation in Article 23 (2). ITI and its members strongly believe that for Europe to achieve its ambitious digitalisation goals, the EU should ensure cybersecurity resilience of all key economic sectors and increase the level of harmonisation of requirements in different sectors. We stand ready to support these efforts by inputting to the NIS Directive review consultation. We agree with the basic premise in this consultation—that the EU should take steps to improve cybersecurity. In terms of possible policy options presented in Section B to achieve these objectives, we would suggest either #2 (non-legislative means such as guidelines) or #3 (regulatory intervention that introduces targeted changes to the current NIS Directive), or a combination of both. Regardless of the instrument chosen, we offer detailed recommendations in the full submission attached. We remain at your disposal for any questions regarding our submission.

Response to Energy labelling requirements for computers and computer servers

9 Mar 2018

Estimated savings, complexity & duty cycle Industry would caution on the increase of the estimated energy saving potential. Projecting PC usage and energy consumption growth to 2030 is meaningless; projections involving digital technology further than five years ahead provides no degree of accuracy or certainty. When considering the EU's own estimated sales figures from PRODCOM it shows a leveling/downward trend in sales numbers for Notebooks (NB) and Desktop (DT) PCs, this is certainly a true reflection of the market over the past few years, we continue to see a declining market in the EU. Further, it's estimated that implementation of CEC regulation and ENERGY STAR (E*) v7.0 specification will result in approximate energy efficiency improvements in Idle power of 50% for DT/AIO and NB PCs respectively. Future improvement potential will, however, diminish over time with only marginal incremental improvements in energy efficiency. The last stakeholder meeting provided some rough estimates of active usage patterns from ONE E*compliant NB. The conclusions suggest that "estimates around how long PCs are used for vary considerably across different studies even for the same type of PC (e.g. desktop PC)". No data exists to quantify a creditable estimate of the duty cycle of either NBs or DTs assuming a number of usage patterns. A comprehensive duty cycle and power study assessing the significance of active power is necessary to determine active power as significant, selection of the right workloads will also be a challenge to properly measure active mode power of PCs. Without such a study, proposing an energy label based on active power metric is premature. DIGITALEUROPE would be interested in providing support to such a study that the EC initiates to assess the usage patterns and characterize a typical duty cycle from various power modes including active, idle (short & long), sleep and off. Consideration on the Energy Label Introducing a PC Energy Label would be a complex exercise, high configurability of PC products based on active performance requires specific analysis. The existing E* label remains a well established and effective scheme for product differentiation. The E* programme serves as a significant global standard for the ICT sector, providing a stable regulatory framework and harmonization of methodologies. Furthermore the E* criteria have proven to be one of the main criteria supporting European GPP. Noting the termination of the EU-US Agreement, the ICT Industry remains committed to the E* criteria development and its continued basis for the PC regulatory review. Scope Industry cannot support a proposal to move tablets from the regulation. There are now a number of "hybrid devices" in the market which combine NB and tablets. Customer acceptance will increase further innovative designs. Legal uncertainty for such devices is a risk if regulated by 2 different regulations with differing requirements. Material efficiency The IT industry had submitted comments to the draft report "Analysis of material efficiency aspects of PC product group" in February '17. Some of these comments have been integrated into the final report, but many proposed measures to improve the material efficiency of PCs still lack practicability and present significant documentation and manufacturing effort with no added value. Namely, the industry is concerned that labelling requirements for product parts (e.g. plastics, batteries) and information requirements on materials (e.g. CRM) will not be effective to improve material recovery rates as state of the art WEEE sorting and recycling processes make no use of the information. Industry questions whether consumers seek technical performance details such as the IP class of a device, or the battery management features. Material efficiency measures should be practicable, consistent and result in quantifiable environmental benefits.

Response to Review of ENISA Regulation and laying down a EU ICT security certification and labelling

6 Dec 2017

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) welcomes the European Commission’s Cybersecurity package, including the Proposed Regulation on cybersecurity certification. While we support the overall objectives of the Package, we would like to highlight some concerns and recommendations regarding the current proposal. Summary Recommendations 1. Prioritize and develop a work plan to address the creation of any cybersecurity certification schemes. 2. Promote security by design approaches grounded in international standards and best practices, and consider self-certification schemes as alternative tools. 3. Clarify the scope of any certification scheme (or schemes). 4. Leverage the expertise of public and private stakeholders to build upon existing initiatives and standards activities. 5. Continue international efforts, and prioritize international cybersecurity standardization. 6. Equip ENISA with adequate resources. 7. Prioritize investment in cybersecurity workforce training and skills development. 8. Adopt policies that facilitate cross-border data flows, within the single market and internationally, which are necessary for cyber defense. 9. Bolster initiatives that raise awareness. Select Further Detail (Please see the attached document for full detail on all the above recommendations.) 1. Develop a work plan. Because the current certification proposal is extremely broad and open-ended, we suggest the Commission approach its work in stages. There is a clear need both for prioritization and the development of a working plan, incorporating an industry role at the outset, to stage the various actions anticipated in the proposal. We suggest that as part of the first stage, the Commission should consider issuing high level recommendations focused on process, later supplementing them with recommendations on more specific issues as determined with input from industry and other stakeholders. 2. Promote security by design. ITI commends the Commission’s decision to resist developing a mandatory prescriptive cybersecurity labelling or certification regime in the EU, and we urge the adoption of safeguards to keep whatever certification schemes are ultimately developed voluntary. Foundationally, we encourage the Commission to work with the international standards bodies to establish security-by-design best practices. We applaud the commission for proposing certification schemes that are voluntary, an approach that will allow the market to drive demand and companies to differentiate their products. If a proposed certification scheme evolves to become mandatory, this may represent a market barrier especially for SMEs and start-ups across different regions of the world. Additionally, ITI encourages the Commission to consider more flexible and lightweight approaches such as self-certification schemes based on cybersecurity baselines, enabling companies of all sizes to more rapidly adopt processes defined by industry in cooperation with governments to address cybersecurity risks. 3. Clarify the scope of the proposed schemes. The certification framework as contemplated appears both extremely broad and somewhat ambiguous in its proposed application, insofar as it appears to contemplate certification schemes that would apply to all ICT products, components, systems, processes and services. Because there is no “one-size fits all” certification scheme that does or can apply across such a wide array of connected technologies and use models, the Commission should take efforts to clarify what will initially be in scope, perhaps prioritizing areas that may be ripe for progress. These areas could be prescribed in advance by scoping the legislation to products, services or systems necessitating high level security requirements, such as in critical infrastructures, and should be further refined as part of a process that ensures meaningful industry input. (Please see the attached document for our detailed recommendations.)
