This report presents the findings of ‘Task 3: Develop options and recommendations for the review of the Regulation and assess their impacts’ under the ‘Support contract for an Evaluation and Impact Assessment for amending Regulation (EC) No 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases (the ‘Regulation’ or ‘FGR’ when abbreviated)’.
The project has been commissioned under the contract number: Ref. Ares(2019)7625784 - 11/12/2019. The contract entered into force in April 2020 and runs until April 2022 (24 months). The general objective of this contract is to provide a timely and high-quality input useful for supporting the Commission in drafting, in an almost parallel manner, an evaluation of the F-gas Regulation and an impact assessment for amending the Regulation. The input must be in line with the Commission's Better Regulation Guidelines and must serve to fulfil the obligations in Article 21(2) of the Regulation.
This report presents the work conducted for the impact assessment, including the process and screening of policy options that leads to a shortlist of options. This shortlist is then analysed in an assessment to analyse the environmental, economic and, where relevant, social impacts of the envisaged policy options and policy options bundles.
