On 14 April 2014, at the Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting that took place in Luxembourg, the Council of the European Union adopted a regulation on fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases). The regulation is aimed at protecting the environment by reducing emissions of F-gases. It establishes rules regarding containment, use, recovery and destruction of those gases. In addition, the new law imposes conditions on the placing on the market of products and equipment containing or relying upon F-gases, whilst setting out quantitative limits for the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). |
