In her presentation, Andrea Voigt representing the European Partnership for Energy and the Envitonment (EPEE) noted that a phase-down approach in the F-Gas Regulation is believed to deliver the necessary emissions reduction. In addition, a ban on high GWP HFCs in new stationary refrigeration could be accepted, however, any further HFC bans are seen as restrictive and inflexible for the industry represented by EPEE.
