As a party to party to Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer with its amendments, as well as under the Association Agreement with EU, Republic of Moldova has adopted National Phase-out Programme for HCFCs for the period 2016-2040 and needs to transpose the EU Regulation No. 842/2006 on fluorinated greenhouse gases (the so-called F-gas Regulation). A new Regulation, No 517/2014, was adopted and is applied beginning from 2015, which has to be taken into account when adopting new Moldovan legislation. The study sets a roadmap for

• Adoption of national legislation and designation of competent authority/authorities,
• Establishment/adaptation of national training and certification requirements for relevant personnel and companies (Article 5),
• Establishment of reporting systems for acquiring emission data from the relevant sectors (Article 6), and
• Establishment of enforcement system (Article 13).
