Energy Efficient Products

When online catalogues/leaflets allow to buy a product directly through the catalogue page, should the energy label and the product fiche be displayed?

If the catalogue is put online and the website offers the possibility to place an order, then the products are considered to be offered for sale through the internet, and the obligations with regard to labelling of energy-related products on the internet, apply the electronic label and product fiche have to be displayed in a way that is clearly visible and legible and close to price of the product. Alternatively, they may be shown in a nested format, as described in the regulations. Dealers are free to determine whether they display the full label and product fiche or their nested form.

Any remarks from the European Commission services are without prejudice to the position the Commission might take should related cases arise in a procedure before the Court of Justice.
