OPINION on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on fluorinated greenhouse gases
Amendments (48)
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Additional bans on the placing on the market of new equipment for refrigeration, air-conditioning, foams, aerosols, solvents and fire protection that operate using specific fluorinated greenhouse gases should be introduced where suitable alternatives to the use of those substances are available. In the light of in order to send clear market signals to invest in production facilities and to achieve economies of scale while also encouraging innovation. In the light of the availability of replacement technologies today and future technical developments and the availability of cost- efficient alternatives to the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases, the Commission should be empowered to include other products and equipment or to exclude, also temporarily, certain categories of products or equipment for which alternative substances which fall below the specified global warming potential limit are not available for technical or economic reasons, including insufficient supply of alternative substances on the market to meet the demand, or due to applicable safety standards excluding the use of relevant alternatives.
