On Tuesday 16 January, the deputies of the European Parliament approved the agreement concluded with the Council, with a view to revising the text of F-gas, with 457 votes for, 92 votes against and 32 abstentions.

The text plans to eliminate HFCs by 2050 and a reduction in consumption quotas within the European Union between 2024 and 2049.
