The Forum will consider a working document on potential eco-design requirements for public/street lighting (the first to be put forward). This paper, together with the draft agenda and draft rules of procedures of the Consultation Forum, are available here.
Also of interest to stakeholders will be the news that a contractor has been appointed to prepare a three-year Working Plan for the Directive.
