<p>Officials from the Department attended the EU consultation forum in December 2017,
the most recent discussion of this issue in Brussels, to discuss the latest Ecodesign
lighting proposals. The Department has subsequently made representations to the European
Commission in writing and in person to discuss the issue of stage lighting and potential
solutions. I understand that representatives from the industry have also met with
the Commission and will be drafting an alternative proposal for stage lighting for
their consideration.</p><p> </p><p>It should be noted that this is only a proposal
at this stage and remains open for discussion, with a final decision on the draft
regulation likely to be made towards the end of the year. We will continue to engage
with both industry and the European Commission in the meantime.</p>
