13 ANNEX V  
Production rights for placing hydrofluorocarbons  on the market  
The calculated levels of production of hydrofluorocarbons , expressed in tonnes of CO 2 
equivalents,  referred to in Article 14 for each producer is:  
(a) for the period 1  January 2024 to  31 December 2028, 60  % of the annual average of 
its production in 2011 -2013;  
(b) from the period 1 January 202 9 to 31 December 203 3, 30% of the annual average of 
its production in 2011 -2013 ; 
(c) for the period 1 January 2034 to 31 December 2035, 20% of the annual average of its 
production in 2011 -2013;  
(d) for the period 1 January 2036 and thereafter, 15% % of the annual average of its 
production i n 2011 -2013.  
For the purpose of this Annex, production means the amount of hydrofluorocarbons produced 
minus the amount destroyed by technologies approved by the Parties to the Protocol, and 
minus the amount entirely used as feedstock in the manufacture of  other chemicals , but  
including hydrofluorocarbons generated as a by -product, unless not captured or unless that 
by-product is destroyed as part of or after the manufacturing process by the producer or 
handed over to another undertaking for destruction. No  amount reclaimed shall be considered 
as production.  
   
14 ANNEX VI  
Method of calculating the total GWP  of a mixture referred to in Article 3(1)  
The GWP of a mixture is calculated as a weighted average, derived from the sum of the 
weight fractions of the individual substances multiplied by their GWP, unless otherwise 
specified, including substances that are not fluorinated greenhouse gases.  
Σ (Substance X % x GWP) + (Substance Y % x GWP) + ... (Substance N 
% x GWP), where % is the contribution by weight with a weight 
tolerance of +/-1 %. 
For example: applying the formula to a blend of gases consisting of 60 % dimethyl ether, 10 % 
HFC -152a and 30 % isobutane:  
Σ (60 % x 1) + (10 % x 124) + (30 % x 3) 
Total GWP = 13,9  
The GWP of the following non -fluorinated substances are used to calculate the GWP of 
mixtures. For other substances not listed in this annex a default value of 0 applies.

16 ANNEX VII  
MAXIMUM QUANTITIES AND CALCULATION OF REFERENCE VALUES AND 
QUOTAS FOR PLACING  
HYDROFLUOROCARBONS ON THE MARKET REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 17  
 
(1) The maximum amount of HFCs allowed to be placed on the Union market in a given 
year is set to be the following:  
Years  Maximum Quantity  
in tonnes CO 2 equivalent  
2024 – 2026  41 701 077  
2027 – 2029  17 688 360  
2030 – 2032  9 132 097  
2033 – 2035  8 445 713  
2036 – 2038  6 782 265  
2039 – 2041  6 136 732 
2042 – 2044  5 491 199  
2045 – 2047  4 845 666  
2048 onwards  4 200 133  
(2) The 2015 base -value for the maximum quantity is set to be: 176 700 479 tonnes CO 2 
equivalent  
(3) Reference values and quotas for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred 
to in Articles 16 and 17 shall be calculated as the aggregated quantities of all 
hydrofluorocarbons, expressed in tonne(s) of CO 2 equivalent rounded to the nearest 
tonne.  
(4) Each importer and producer shall receive reference values referred to in Article 
17(1), cal culated as follows:  
i) a reference value for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market based on the 
annual average of the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons lawfully placed on the market 
from 1 January 2015 as reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 
and under Article 26 of this Regulation for the years available, not including 
quantities of hydrofluorocarbons for the usages referred to in Article 26(5) during the 
same period, on the basis of available data.  
ii) in addition, for importers and producers that have reported the placing on the 
market of hydrofluorocarbons for the usage referred to in Article 26(5), second 
subparagraph, a reference value based on the annual average of the quantities of  
17 those hydrof luorocarbons for such usage lawfully placed on the market from 1 
January 2020 as reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 and of 
Article 26 of this Regulation for the years available, on the basis of available data.  
 
   
18 ANNEX VIII  
Allocation  mechanism referred to in Article 17  
(1) Determination of the quantity to be allocated to undertakings for which reference 
values have been established under Article 17(1).  
Each undertaking for which reference values have been established receives quota, 
which  is calculated as follows:  
– a quota corresponding to 89 % of the reference value referred to in Annex VII, 
point 4(i), multiplied by the maximum quantity for the year for which the quota 
is allocated divided by the base value of 176 700 479 tonnes CO 2 equiv alent18. 
– in addition, where relevant, a quota corresponding to the reference value 
referred to in Annex VII, point 4(ii), multiplied by the maximum quantity for 
the year for which the quota is allocated divided by the maximum quantity for 
the year 2024.  
In case where after allocating the full amount of quotas as referred to in the second 
subparagraph, the maximum quantity is exceeded, all quotas will be reduced 
proportionally.  
(2) Determination of the quota to be allocated to undertakings that have submitted a 
declaration pursuant to Article 17(3).  
The total sum of the quotas allocated under point 1 is subtracted from the maximum 
quantity for the given year set out in Annex VII to determine the reserve amount to 
be allocated to undertakings, which have submitted  a declaration under Article 17(3).  
Each undertaking receives an allocation corresponding to a pro -rata share of the 
reserve.  
The pro -rata share is calculated by dividing 100 by the number of undertakings that 
have submitted a declaration.  
(3) Penalties establ ished in accordance with Article 31 are taken into account in the 
calculations referred to above.  
 
  
                                                 
18 This number is the maximum quantity  established for 2015 at the beginning of the phase -down, taking into 
account BREXIT.
