to the industry that will be involved, the power saving will be
worthwhile IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS.

Right. So you're making a political point. Why not just say so rather than
try and dress it up?

And if it *really* is, and EU departments honestly believe (or know)
that power saving levels such as this are going to be needed, then we
really *are* in the **** ...

That can be said about any energy saving measure.

And I don't "ignore the rest". They are by-products of the basic
legislation, and largely immaterial to it. If you reduce the size of the
motor, it's going to get quieter or and / or suck less. If you shift
less air through the cleaner, then it's also likely, if you keep the
same level of filtering, that dust emissions back into the air will be
reduced.

You seem determined not to discuss whether it is possible to make a vacuum
cleaner more efficient. Which would at least me on topic for here.

BTW, have you read the entire EU document on the subject?
