Article 35 5.

whether cost-effective, technically feasible, energy-efficient, sufficiently available and reliable alternatives exist, which make the replacement of fluorinated greenhouse gases possible in the products and equipment listed in Annex IV covered by prohibitions that have not yet become applicable at the time of the evaluation, especially products and equipment subject to full fluorinated greenhouse gas prohibitions, including ‘split’ air conditioners and heat pumps;

international developments relevant for the shipping sector and the potential expansion of the scope of containment requirements to fluorinated greenhouse gases contained in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment of ships;

the potential expansion of the scope of the export prohibition referred to in Article 22(3), taking into account, inter alia, the potential increased global availability of products and equipment containing low GWP fluorinated greenhouse gases or natural alternatives and developments under the Protocol;

the potential inclusion in the quota requirement laid down in Article 16(1), of the hydrofluorocarbons for purposes listed in Article 16(2), in particular hydrofluocarbons supplied directly by a producer or an importer to an undertaking using it for etching of semiconductor material or the cleaning of chemicals vapour deposition chambers within the semiconductor manufacturing sector;

the risk of excessive reduction of competition in the market due to the prohibitions and related exceptions under Article 13(9), in particular those on high voltage electrical switchgear of more than 145 kV or more than 50 kA short circuit current.
