Ukraine seeks to adopt EU F-gas rules
26th January 2025
UKRAINE: As a candidate for accession to the European Union, Ukraine is working to adopt the new European F-Gas and ozone depleting substances regulations.
The European Council opened accession negotiations with Ukraine in December 2023. Candidate countries must demonstrate a strong administrative capacity at national and local levels to properly apply and enforce environmental laws.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Environment is now seeking input from businesses, public organisations, and individuals with expertise in environmental protection as part of plans to ensure broad consensus and effective outcomes.
The country has been a major pathway for smugglers bringing illegal refrigerant into the EU.
