Recital 17

(17)Regulation (EU) 2024/590 of the European Parliament and of the Council ⁸ allows for a certain number of clearly specified exemptions from the prohibition of use of substances that deplete the ozone layer. The generic criteria for determining whether an economic activity causes no significant harm to pollution prevention and control should therefore allow for the use of such exemptions and for necessary uses of ozone-depleting substances where alternatives are not available.
