"B REGULATION (EC) No 2037/2000 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 29 June 2000

on substances that deplete the ozone layer

(OJ L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 1)

page/sid 7

3. Subject to paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, each producer shall ensure that:

(a) the calculated level of its production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the

period 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2000 and in each 12-month period

thereafter does not exceed the calculated level of its production of

hydrochlorofluorocarbons in 1997;

(b) the calculated level of its production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the

period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 and in each 12-month period

thereafter does not exceed 35 % of the calculated level of its production

of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in 1997;

(c) the calculated level of its production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the

period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 and in each 12-month period

thereafter does not exceed 20 % of the calculated level of its production

of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in 1997;

(d) the calculated level of its production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in the

period 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020 and in each 12-month period

thereafter does not exceed 15 % of the calculated level of its production

of hydrochlorofluorocarbons in 1997;

(e) it produces no hydrochlorofluorocarbons after 31 December 2025.

Before 31 December 2002, the Commission shall review the level of

production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons with a view to determining:

— whether a production cut ahead of the year 2008 should be proposed,

and/or

— whether a change to the levels of production provided for under (b), (c)

and (d) should be proposed.

This review will take into account the development of hydrochlorofluorocarbon

consumption worldwide, the hydrochlorofluorocarbon exports from

the Community and other OECD countries and the technical and economic

availability of alternative substances or technologies as well as relevant

international developments under the Protocol.

Control of the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons

1. Subject to the following conditions, the use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons

shall be prohibited:

............

(c) as refrigerants:

(i) in equipment produced after 31 December 1995 for the following uses:

— in non-confined direct-evaporation systems,

— in domestic refrigerators and freezers,

— in motor vehicle, tractor and off-road vehicle or trailer air

conditioning systems operating on any energy source, except for

military uses where the prohibition shall enter into force on 31 December 2008,

— in road public-transport air-conditioning,

(ii) in rail transport air-conditioning, in equipment produced after 31 December 1997;

(iii) from 1 January 2000, in equipment produced after 31 December 1999 for the following uses:

— in public and distribution cold stores and warehouses,

— for equipment of 150 kw and over, shaft input,

(iv) from 1 January 2001, in all other refrigeration and air-conditioning

equipment produced after 31 December 2000, with the exception of

fixed air-conditioning equipment, with a cooling capacity of less

than 100 kW, where the use of hydrochlofluorocarbons shall be

prohibited from 1 July 2002 in equipment produced after 30 June

2002 and of reversible air-conditioning/heat pump systems where the

use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons shall be prohibited from 1 January

2004 in all equipment produced after 31 December 2003;

(v) from 1 January 2010, the use of virgin hydrochlorofluorocarbons

shall be prohibited in the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration

and air-conditioning equipment existing at that date; all hydrochlorofluorocarbons

shall be prohibited from 1 January 2015.

Before 31 December 2008 the Commission shall review the technical

and economic availability of alternatives to recycled hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

The review shall take into account the availability of technically and

economically feasible alternatives to hydrochlorofluorocarbons in

existing refrigeration equipment with the view to avoiding undue

abandonment of equipment.

Alternatives for consideration should have a significantly less

harmful effect on the environment than hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

The Commission shall submit the result of the review to the

European Parliament and to the Council. It shall, as appropriate, in

accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2), take a

decision on whether to adapt the date of 1 January 2015;
