EPEE strongly supports the F-Gas Regulation, as it contributes to reducing the impact of f-gases on the climate. Even if implementation of the current F-gas rules in the Member States is still in progress and therefore, the Regulation and its potential to reduce emissions has not been fully exploited yet, EPEE welcomes the European Commission’s efforts to revise and improve the current provisions of the F-Gas Regulation. This legislative proposal is  expected to be published before the end of 2012.

Please see our September 2012 position paper on recommendations for improvement of the F-Gas Regulation for more information.

On 7 November 2012, the European Commission released the proposal for a revised F-gas Regulation. EPEE welcomes the European Commission's efforts to revise the F-gas Regulation and to send a strong signal to the rest of the world that action needs to be taken on F-gases. For more information, please see our press release.
