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 2029 to 31 December 2033, 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 in 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.

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.

    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), calculated 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 i 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 those hydrofluorocarbons for such usage lawfully placed on the market from 1 January 2020 as reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 i and of Article 26 of this Regulation for the years available, on the basis of available data.

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 18 equivalent .

– 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 established 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.
