THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2024/573 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 February 2024 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, amending Directive (EU) 2019/1937 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 (1), and in particular Article 26(9), second subparagraph,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 (2) established the format for the report to be submitted by producers, importers, exporters and certain users of fluorinated greenhouse gases in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

In particular, the list of gases, equipment containing those gases and activities related to those gases has been extended.

(3)	Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1191/2014 should therefore be repealed.

(4)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on fluorinated greenhouse gases,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The reports referred to in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2024/573 shall be based on the format set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

Quantities of fluorinated greenhouse gases listed in Annexes I, II or III to Regulation (EU) 2024/573 or mixtures containing at least one of those gases contained in the products and equipment or parts thereof shall be reported in metric tonnes with accuracy to the third decimal place (if the fourth decimal place is 5 or more, the third decimal place shall be rounded up, otherwise it shall be rounded down), by category. In addition to the total quantity of gases, the number of units shall be reported per category, unless otherwise stated. For Section 11_M, the number of units shall refer to the number of functional units and shall be reported on with the associated quantities of substances.

Producers of products or equipment or parts thereof manufactured in the Union shall not report on products and equipment or parts thereof where the contained gases were previously imported into or produced in the Union. Where a producer itself produces bulk gas in the Union for use in the Union for manufacturing their products and equipment or parts thereof, its reporting on production (reporting Section 1) shall also cover the relevant gas amounts, so those amounts shall not be reported in this Section, but only in reporting Section 1.

Importers of products or equipment or parts thereof containing a fluorinated greenhouse gas listed in Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EU) 2024/573 shall report on all gas containing imports released by customs for free circulation in the Union. Imports of pre-blended polyols shall not be reported in this Section, but only in Section 2.

Where imported refrigeration equipment, air conditioning equipment or heat pumps or parts thereof or imported metered dose inhalers for the delivery of pharmaceutical ingredients containing hydrofluorocarbons had previously been placed on the Union market (including the charge of hydrofluorocarbons) and had subsequently been exported from the Union prior to re-import, that shall be reported in reporting Section 12a to prove compliance with Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2024/573. The following categories of products or equipment or parts thereof include components intended for that specified product or equipment categories.

Where there is a reference to rated capacity and the equipment can have different functions the rated capacity refers to the primary function of the equipment.

Where Eco-design legislation adopted under Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) establishes a method for calculating the rated capacity of an equipment, that method shall be used.
