The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) was represented by Clare Perry, who emphasised that there is a need for a stronger role played by developing countries in the HFCs phase-down. Furthermore, whilst the Montreal Protocol has been successful in many ways, data on HFCs use and consumption needs to improve for strengthened negotiations. Additionally, she highlighted that a more balanced debate needs to come to the fore: The Natural Refrigerant industry in Europe has a key role to play in revising standards and balancing the debate for instance.
