Your message was rescued (a little late) from my junk mail screener....
I think your questions were probably answered on the listserve by now,
but the answer is that EuP will set full environmental design criteria
for the whole life cycle, not just use.

Subject: Re: [LF] Don't be left out on the Next RoHS
Hi Fern,
did I get it right: the directive actually wants to regulate the energy
consumption of finished products during their life cycle, not covering
the wasted energy during the manufacturing of the product. In this case,
they (EU) are not contradicting RoHS, but maybe trying to balance the
odds: we waste more during manufacturing, but we save during operation.
I wonder if there will be any Design for EuP guidelines.
Just a thought and wishing you well,
Ioan
