Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009, enacted by the European Parliament and the Council on September 16, 2009, addresses substances that deplete the ozone layer. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the Earth's ozone layer by establishing stringent requirements for the control, management, and reduction of substances identified as ozone-depleting.
Purpose: The regulation is designed to align with international agreements, such as the Montreal Protocol, and contribute to the global effort of phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances. This aims to protect human health, ecosystems, and the environment from the harmful effects of ozone depletion and its associated impacts.
Requirements: Key requirements of the regulation include:
Applicability in the UK: The regulation applied to the United Kingdom (UK) as a member of the European Union. However, due to the UK's withdrawal from the EU (Brexit), as of January 1, 2021, the direct applicability of EU regulations such as (EC) No 1005/2009 ceased in the UK. Instead, the UK established its own regulations to address ozone-depleting substances and their management.
Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, enacted on September 16, 2009, addresses substances that deplete the ozone layer. The regulation includes specific evidence requirements aimed at ensuring compliance with the regulation's objectives to control and reduce the use of ozone-depleting substances. These evidence requirements are integral to the implementation and enforcement of the regulation's provisions.
Evidence Requirements: The regulation stipulates various evidence-related aspects to support its implementation:
The evidence requirements outlined in Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 are designed to create a robust system for tracking, monitoring, and controlling ozone-depleting substances. By ensuring accurate reporting, data sharing, and compliance verification, the regulation aims to effectively reduce the use of these substances and contribute to the protection of the ozone layer and the environment as a whole.
Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which addresses substances that deplete the ozone layer, includes several exemptions that allow for certain uses of ozone-depleting substances despite the general aim of reducing their use. These exemptions are carefully defined and are intended to balance the need to protect the ozone layer while also accommodating critical uses where alternatives may not be readily available or feasible. Some of the exemptions include:
It's important to note that these exemptions are subject to conditions, limitations, and reporting requirements as specified in the regulation. The intention behind these exemptions is to strike a balance between reducing the use of ozone-depleting substances and accommodating situations where alternatives are not yet practical or feasible. The regulation seeks to ensure that these exemptions are used only when absolutely necessary and that efforts are made to minimize their impact on the ozone layer.
