AFCE, the French Refrigeration,
HVAC and Environment Alliance (Alliance Froid Climatización Environnement). announced
the new French plan to reduce the GHG emissions, which was published in the
official gazette of the French
Republic as a decree
that completes and modifies the October 13, 2008 decree law concerning the
certificates which all the personnel must have to handle refrigerants until
July 4, 2011, in
accordance with the European regulation.
For those who are not
entitled of a provisional certificate, the European and French regulation gives
them until July 4, 2009 to obtain their certificate, in order to allow a real
refrigerants improvement which directly contributes to the global warming and
are for this reason subjected to the Kyoto
protocol which tends to limit the gas emissions to greenhouse effect.
