The proposal was called "Draft for a Proposal for a Directive of the
European Parliament and of the Council on establishing a framework for the
Eco-design of End Use Equipment", and was dated 09-10-2002.
There was a PDF (which I have) on the Commission website but I am not sure
whether it is still there.
We also understand that the term "End Use Equipment" (EUE) has now been
amended to "End User Products" (EUP) - and that the scope may have changed
somewhat.

Neil,
Are there any public documents accessible on the WWW regarding the
framework directive you mention?
