Fluorinated gases
According to Regulation ( EU ) No 2024/573 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 February 2024 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, amending Directive 2019/1937 and repealing Regulation 517/2014, the IMPORT, EXPORT, INTRODUCTION, production, supply and subsequent use of fluorinated greenhouse gases and of products and equipment containing such gases or whose operation depends on such gases are prohibited, except in cases of temporary storage (art. 22).
However, the Regulation establishes three requirements for carrying out any of the prohibited activities with merchandise covered by the scope of application and a series of exemptions and exceptions to said prohibition, which require obtaining a license or authorization, quota and/or labeling obligation.
