Panasonic Europe BV

Panasonic is a diversified manufacturer and digital solutions provider across consumer electronics, connected appliances, B2B/industrial systems, and software/IoT. Operating at EU scale, we see both the cost of regulatory fragmentation and the upside from coherent, standardsled rules.

Panasonic Europe BV welcomes the opportunity to comment on the European Commission's proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), presented on 4 March 2026. As a global technology provider with a substantial European industrial presence, Panasonic supports the IAA's objective of accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels toward energy-efficient and clean technologies.

Panasonic greatly appreciates the opportunity in providing feedback on the Cybersecurity Act and NIS2 revision proposals. Panasonic endorses the European Commissions cyber resilience objectives within the proposed Cybersecurity Act (CSA2) and NIS2 Directive amendments, yet formally stipulates that immediate structural refinements are important to prevent market fragmentation and duplicative administrative burdens.

We welcome the objective of the Environmental OmnibusVIII initiative to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and improve regulatory coherence across EU environmental legislation. With regards to the proposed amendments (COM(2025) 986) we support the repeal of the SCIP database under the Waste Framework Directive based on its limited effectiveness and significant impact on business operations.

On behalf of Panasonic Europe, we appreciate the opportunity to review and provide feedback on the draft Commission guidance regarding the application of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). We highly appreciate the Commissions efforts to provide clarity on this complex and landmark regulation.

Panasonic would like to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to provide feedback on the upcoming Heating and Cooling Strategy. It is essential to uphold climate ambitions and its key legislations, with heat pumps playing a crucial role in achieving them by significantly contributing to energy efficiency, decarbonisation, flexibility, and energy security.

Panasonic welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the European Commission's public consultation on the Cyber Resilience Act Implementing Act. We acknowledge the significance of this act in providing clarity and practical guidance for the CRA's effective implementation. Stakeholder input is crucial for robust and technically sound legislation that fosters a secure digital ecosystem.

Panasonic welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the latest legislative drafts released by the European Commission. As the European Union accelerates its transition toward decarbonised heating and cooling, it is essential that forthcoming regulations effectively support the deployment of heat pumps while safeguarding consumer benefits, ensuring high levels of energy efficiency, and enabling a competitive…
