Green Paper For Lighting The Future Accelerating
19 January 2013
The Deployment Of Innovative
Lighting Technologies – The Green Paper is part of the
Digital Agenda for Europe flagship initiative (COM(2010) 245 final/2) under the
Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The Green
Paper sets out the key issues to be addressed in a European strategy aiming to
accelerate the deployment of high-quality Solid State Lighting (SSL) for
general lighting. It is designed to help Europe achieve its key energy
efficiency, industrial and innovation policy objectives of Europe 2020.
The Green Paper proposes to launch a
number of new policy initiatives and a public debate in Europe with all
interested parties for accelerating the pace of SSL deployment. It has the
ambition to pro-actively define a coherent set of strategic objectives in the
Union addressing both the demand and the supply side, as well as to lay down
the generic conditions for achieving these objectives as a basis for future
action for all involved players. Since the Digital Agenda for Europe is a
cross-cutting initiative, this Green Paper has important links to several other
flagship initiatives of Europe 2020. For example, it is proposing to apply
several of the general policy goals the Union has defined in its new Innovation
(COM(2010) 546 final) and Industrial policy (COM(2010) 614) in the field of
SSL.
