lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, important though this regulation undoubtedly is in how we approach climate change, since it will in any event lead to a reduction in the use of f-gases, it is only a first step. That is why I think it is best if it is taken with caution. The Commission will need to table an assessment report in a few years’ time, and the important measures that are now being proposed must also have the chance of being implemented in the sector. As science and technology develops, it will become evident whether additional restrictions are viable, and more analyses are required for this purpose. After all, the sector involved is a global industry, and since goods must be able to circulate freely in and out of the EU, it is impossible for each country to impose its own rules. We must prevent disparity between the different legislations from leading to different playing fields for the market operators. That is why it is also important to state that a happy balance should be struck between solid environmental progress and not too many restrictions for the internal market. This is best accommodated, in my view, by the mixed legal basis proposed by the Council. That is also the ideal approach in the framework of which research and development can be stimulated on a large scale. The EU sets out the guidelines that guarantee the responsible use of the f-gases and the sector can further develop research in a creative manner. Consequently, it is wholly unacceptable to us if at present, more unviable restrictions were to be imposed on the sector unilaterally, without consultation, on applications for which there are insufficient alternatives available or for which alternatives are not more energy efficient, taking into consideration the environmental cost as a whole, if possible within the provisions of Article 175. I would like to hear what the Commission has to say on the matter."@en1
