Notice to undertakings intending to place hydrofluorocarbons in bulk on the market in the European Union in 2020

(2019/C 154/06)

1.

(a)

producers and importers for which a reference value has been determined for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020 by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1984 (2) (3);

| (b) | all other producers and importers that intend to place at least 100 tonnes of CO2 equivalent of hydrofluorocarbons in bulk on the Union market in 2020. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

all other producers and importers that intend to place at least 100 tonnes of CO2 equivalent of hydrofluorocarbons in bulk on the Union market in 2020.

2.

HFC-23, HFC-32, HFC-41, HFC-125, HFC-134, HFC-134a, HFC-143, HFC-143a, HFC-152, HFC-152a, HFC-161, HFC-227ea, HFC-236cb, HFC-236ea, HFC-236fa, HFC-245ca, HFC-245fa, HFC-365mfc, HFC-43-10mee.

3.

Any placing on the market of these substances, except for the uses listed in Article 15(2) points (a) to (f) of the Regulation or a total annual quantity of these substances of less than 100 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, is subject to quantitative limits under the quota system laid down in Articles 15 and 16 as well as Annexes V and VI to the Regulation.

4.

The Commission allocates quota to the undertakings concerned. The United Kingdom submitted on 29 March 2017 the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. As of the withdrawal date, hydrofluorocarbons placed on the market of the United Kingdom are no longer within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 and do no longer count towards the quota allocated by the Commission to producers and importers (4).

5.

All data submitted by companies, quotas and reference values are stored in the electronic HFC Registry set up in accordance with Article 17 of the Regulation, which is accessible online via the ‘F-gas Portal and HFC Licensing System’ (5). All data in the HFC Registry including quotas, reference values, commercial and personal data will be treated as confidential by the European Commission.

6.

Importers must at the time of release for free circulation of HFCs have a valid registration as importers of bulk HFCs in the HFC Registry accessible online via the ‘F-gas Portal and HFC Licensing System’ (6) in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/661 (7). Such a registration is also considered an obligatory licence for import. A similar licence is needed for exporting HFCs (8).

7.

Importers should be specified as ‘Consignee’ (box 8) on the Single Administrative Document (SAD). Importers are strongly encouraged to specify the amounts of HFCs in CO2 equivalents at the time of release for free circulation directly in the SAD (box 44) as this may greatly facilitate the custom clearance of their goods and establishment of their compliance with Regulation (EU) No 517/2014.

For producers and importers for which a reference value has been determined, as referred to in point 1 a) of this notice, only:

For producers and importers for which a reference value has been determined, as referred to in point 1 a) of this notice, only:

In order to ensure due treatment of the application for registration, including the possible need for additional information, such an application must be made at the very latest one month before the start of the declaration period, i.e. before 17 May 2019 (see point (12).
