On 18 April 2024, the 1st discussion panel in the series of planned meetings under the “LEGAL HFC 4 LIFE” project took place. The discussions focused on the new Regulation of the European Parliament 2024/573 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, replacing Regulation 517/2014.
The aim of these discussions is to develop informal recommendations relating both to a possible amendment of national legislation and to further measures to ensure the effective implementation of these regulations in Poland.
The meeting opened with an address by the project manager, Ms Iwona Bombik, who presented the objectives of the LEGAL HFC 4 LIFE project and the activities of the PROZON Climate Protection Foundation. This was followed by a presentation on the most important regulatory changes concerning the trading of F-gases and products/equipment containing or dependent on F-gases, as well as the topics for discussion, delivered by Professor Janusz Kozakiewicz, who also served as the expert for the event. Participants in the discussion panel were welcomed by Krzysztof Grzegorczyk, President of the PROZON Climate Protection Foundation.
The meeting was attended by representatives of public administration bodies, enforcement authorities and research and scientific institutions. During the panel, recommendations were developed and accepted by all participants in the discussion.
