Recital 3

(3) Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) was adopted to reverse the increase in fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions. As concluded in an evaluation prepared by the Commission, Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 has led to a year-on-year decrease of fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions. The supply of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) has declined by 37 % in metric tonnes and by 47 % in terms of tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 2015 until 2019. There has also been a clear shift to the use of alternatives with a lower global warming potential, including natural alternatives (for example, air, CO2, ammonia, hydrocarbons and water), in many types of equipment that traditionally used fluorinated greenhouse gases.
