Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 (the ODS Regulation) is the European Communities’ main instrument for implementing the Montreal Protocol.

These measures are widely praised as the most effective environmental rules to date for mitigating the climate change, due to the HCFC phase out calendar they have put in place.

As ODS are phased out, the EU has the opportunity to promote the introduction of environmentally friendly alternatives.

This chance was missed during the CFC(chlorofluorocarbon) phase-out, which allowed the rapid growth of HCFCs(hydrochlorofluorocarbons).

The codecision procedure for the recast of the ODS Regulation will start shortly.

Hence, it is the right moment to step back and think how Europe should deal with the substances that deplete the ozone layer in the time horizon of 2010, 2015 and, most importantly, beyond.

eurammon and ECSLA offer the following briefing to outline policy recommendations in two areas where the EU can further achieve climate and ozone savings:

I. The ODS Regulation should continue to phase-out HCFCs progressively.

II. However, the EU has to act now to ensure that the potential climate benefits of the HCFC phase-out are realised, by promoting the uptake of climate friendly alternatives to HCFCs.

file icon ECSLA Position Letter on Supply Chain Security
 

The Commission proposal aims:

  • to increase the level of security along the supply chain without impeding the free flow of trade; 
  • to establish minimum European standards that operators may abide by in exchange for receiving a “secure operator” status from national authorities, and;
  • to avoid unnecessary administrative procedures and burdens at European and national levels.

Specific minimum requirements are set for operators involved in the four groups of activities: 

  • preparation of goods for shipment and shipment from the production site; 
  • transport of goods; 
  • forwarding of goods, and;
  • warehousing, storage and inland terminal operations.
