Fluorinated gases Background: Results of the first phase of the ECCP
The objective of the Working Group on fluorinated gases under the ECCP was to develop the basis for a framework of an EU-policy to reduce emissions of the fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) in a cost-effective way. The first report of June 2001 concluded that fluorinated gases contributed about 2% (65 Mt CO2eq) of overall EC greenhouse gas emissions in 1995. Views on the likely future evolution of these emissions levels varied but were in the range of 2-4% of total emissions by 2010 (98 Mt CO2eq), with a particular increase expected in HFC emissions. It was agreed that this potential growth warrants specific action from regulators and industry to limit emissions of fluorinated gases. Consequently the group recommended that a regulatory framework in a

“Community Directive on Fluorinated Gases” should be established. The key objectives of such a Directive would be: • Improved monitoring and verification of emissions of fluorinated gases. • Improved containment of fluorinated gases. • Marketing and use restrictions in certain applications 4.5.2
Follow-up in the Council and the European Parliament
With the Communication on the implementation of the first phase of the ECCP the Commission endorsed the recommendations of the working group without any change. The Environment Council at its meeting of 12 December 2001 supported the Commission’s proposal for legislative action and confirmed its objectives. The Council stated that the legislation should address stationary and mobile sources. Marketing and use restrictions should be considered in those cases where viable alternatives existed and improvement of containment was not feasible. In its resolution of 25 September 2002 on the Commission Communication the European Parliament welcomed the Commission's intention to submit a proposal for a framework directive on fluorinated gases. It considered the expected reductions in emissions of fluorinated gases and improved monitoring as a cost-effective and environmentally efficient measure. The European Parliament considered it important that all areas of application are covered by the proposal. 4.5.3
Mandate and activities of the Working Group in the second phase
In this second phase of the ECCP the mandate of the working group has changed. It is now a forum for stakeholder consultation on the preparatory work for the envisaged Community legislation. In the reporting period the group discussed the draft reports of the two regulatory impact studies for the future legislation. The first of these deals with the expected costs of introducing measures to contain emissions in the various Member Stakes. The results of the draft final report confirm that containment can be regarded as a cost-effective approach in the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. Costs in the Member States vary according to the structure of the refrigeration sector and measures already taken. In those cases where control systems are already in place incremental costs will be low while they are considerably above average where there are delays in the implementation of earlier legislation. The emission reduction achievable by 2012 due to additional containment efforts is estimated by the consultant in the range of 12-15 million tonnes CO2 equivalent for an average cost of €18.32 per tonne CO2 equivalent. The second study examines the cost and impact on businesses of potential marketing and use restrictions of certain applications of fluorinated gases. A total of nine sectors have been investigated. According to the preliminary findings in the draft final report such restrictions could contribute to an emission reduction equivalent of around 6 Mt CO2eq in 2010 for an average cost of
