Abstract: The Commission performed an assessment to verify the continued suitability and relevance of the EU Ecolabel criteria for graphic paper and the EU Ecolabel criteria for tissue paper and tissue products (Commission Decision (EU) 2019/70). The result of the assessment reports that they are still up to date. However, the User Manual needs to be updated to clarify some points that appeared unclear to the respondents of a questionnaire on the subject. The analysis strongly suggests revising the EU Ecolabel criteria set by Commission Decision (EU) 2019/70 in synergy with the development of the ecodesign criteria, which should be based on the knowledge generated by the BREF for the production of pulp, paper and board. The appropriate timing for starting the EU Ecolabel criteria revision will be clearer when the ESPR Work Plan is published (scheduled for March 2025). In the event that pulp, paper and board is not included in the first ESPR Work Plan, the EU Ecolabel criteria could be revised simply based on the knowledge derived from the BREF review.
