Accelerated R22 phase out schedules: issue for the EU air conditioning industry.

Author(s) : BAILLY A.

Summary

To protect the ozone layer and reduce the greenhouse effect is a task of worldwide scope. The author shows that local regulatory action on an European scale applied more quickly and more strictly than elsewhere in the world will make no sense in the air-conditioning field. The concept of technological progress is dangerously misleading. There will be adverse economic and social repercussions, for an insignificant direct impact on the environment. We place our hopes in the political function which Europe has taken upon itself that those parts of Regulation 3093/94 relating to HCFC-22, the fluid which is the backbone of the air-conditioning industry, will not be changed.
