10. Supports the establishment of standardised methodology for measuring energy efficiency and carbon emissions of the ICT sector to enable a verifiable reduction in energy intensity and carbon emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of ICT equipment and components, which will allow innovation-driving competition between genuinely environmentally friendly ICT solutions;

(3a) The abolishment of protection of design for visible spare parts for repair purposes leads to new liberties for small and medium-sized enterprises and favourable offers for the consumer,

Nevertheless, the negotiations under this round which contain an implicit promise to raise standards of living worldwide and alleviate poverty through the removal of trade distortions may well collapse or achieve only a fraction of their potential.
