Proposed legislation to comply with the Isle of Man's commitment to the Montreal Protocol, EU Ozone-Depleting Substances and Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations

Overview

The proposed Regulations will be of particular interest to all undertakings, as defined in Article 3(26) of the EU ODS Regulation[1] or Article 2(30) of the EU F-Gas Regulation[2], which produce, recover, recycle, reclaim, use, destroy or trade in Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) or Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (F-Gases); or which operate refrigeration, air-conditioning or heat pump equipment, or fire protection systems, which contain ODS or F-Gases.

The Regulations will also be of interest to associations and members of associations which manufacture, install, service or recover ozone-depleting substances or F-gases from commercial or domestic equipment which contain or rely on controlled substances, to those responsible for offshore oil and gas installations, Government Departments and non-Governmental organisations.

Why your views matter

This consultation paper seeks views from everyone, but it is addressed in particular to private, public and third sector organisations which work with, or are likely to work with ODS, F-gases or equipment containing the same.

What happens next

We will review results from the consultation which will be used to inform the final version of the legislation for implementation.  We will liaise further with respondents as necessary.
