Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Many ozone depleting substances (ODS) are greenhouse gases but are not controlled under the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol under the assumption that the Montreal Protocol would phase-out ODS. Despite progress made in the Protocol, the task of phasing out ODS still needs to be completed in the European Union and globally. It is therefore desirable to minimise and eliminate the production and use of ODS wherever technically feasible alternatives are available.
