The file, right now
The consultation closed on 23 Jun 2022 — it ran from 8 Apr 2022.
The European Phenolic Foam Association (EPFA) would like to submit the following comments on the proposed Regulation on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. They refer specifically to Article 20 of the draft and notably subparagraphs 2, 3 & 4 which relate to the management of insulation foam products at renovation, refurbishment or demolition.
The European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC) strongly welcomes the proposal - published by the EU Commission on April 8, 2022 - for a Regulation on substances that deplete the ozone layer. Ozone depleting substances (ODS) have depleted throughout the years the stratospheric ozone layer which has led to an increased solar UV-B radiation at the surface of the Earth (Norval et. all, 2011).
The Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (JRAIA) representing manufacturers of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment in Japan would like to comment on the proposal for the European Parliament and of the Council on revision of ODS Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009. We would deeply appreciate it if our comments below could be taken into consideration. 1.
Revise and change the wording to delete the requirement to remove the foams and destroy the substances contained therein from metal faced panel and laminated boards (see article 20.2. & 20.3). Change these two paragraphs deleting this requirement (See our comments/justification in the attached document)
Given that we use only 1ml of a 200ug/ml mixed 57 VOCs standard (with only 3 ODS chemicals in the mix) in an average year, the provisions for laboratory analytical use would remove a lot of additional work in registering and sourcing the required materials.
Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) Response to Ozone Regulation Inception Impact Assessment EIA welcomes the Inception Impact Assessment and the intent expressed to improve the Ozone Regulation in several ways. We agree that a high level of ambition and strict implementation rules is essential to avoid any backsliding and with the four policy options of 1. Higher level of emission reductions; 2.
This is a response from the European Fluorocarbons Technical Committee (EFCTC) to the Inception Impact Assessment on the revision of Regulation No. 1005/2009 (Ref. Ares (2020) 1782671 - 26/03/2020). EFCTC notes that the Commission evaluation of Regulation No.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
