The European Commission has sent a first written warning to Greece, Spain and Ireland for failing to indicate what penalties they have fixed for breaches of an EU Regulation on ozone-depleting substances. These substances were widely used in refrigerators, as solvents for cleaning and in air-conditioners. They are now being replaced by less harmful alternatives. |
