National Consultant to develop a new certification system pursuant to the EU F-Gas Regulation for the service refrigeration and air-conditioning techniciansVacancy Number: Pr14/00504
Background
The XIXth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in September 2007, through its Decision XIX/6, adopted an accelerated phase-out schedule for HCFCs. The 54th Meeting of ExCom in April 2008, through Decision 54/39, adopted guidelines for preparation of HCFC phase-out management plans. These guidelines provided indicative outline and contents of the HCFC phase-out management plans, which are essentially based on earlier guidelines developed and followed for the Terminal Phase-out Management Plan (TPMP) (RMPs/TPMPs/SPPs/NPPs). The decision featured the following key elements: a) Adoption of a staged approach to implementation of the HCFC phase-out management plans within the context of an overall national strategy. The first stage would focus on compliance with the 2013 freeze and 2015 reduction targets. The second stage would focus on HCFC phase-out in compliance with the future reduction control targets; b) Commitments to achieving the 2013 (freeze at the 2009/2010 baseline level) and 2015 (10% reduction) control milestones through performance-based agreements. The HCFC Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP) for the Republic of Moldova for the period 2011-2015, stage 1 has been prepared by the National Ozone Unit of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Moldova to meet obligations that the Republic of Moldova has assumed as a Party to the Montreal Protocol. At the 63rd ExCom meeting in December 2010, the HPMP-stage I for Moldova was approved for implementation. The primary focus of the HPMP-stage 1 is on the actions required to achieve the immediate phase target of a 2013 freeze at the baseline (determined by the average consumption of HCFCs in 2009 and 2010) and the subsequent 10% reduction of the baseline by 2015. The HPMP is the first stage of the long term strategy directed to meeting the 2020 (35 % baseline reduction) and 2025 (67,5% baseline reduction) phase out targets & ultimately complete elimination of HCFCs consumption in 2040. The activities included in the HCFC Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP) implementation project for the Republic of Moldova for the period 2011-2015, stage 1 are meant to support the country in achieving a 10 per sent reduction in HCFCs consumption by 2015. The HCFC Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP) project includes and prioritizes various activities including establishment of suitable policy and regulatory support frameworks, training and certification of service technicians, improvement of data collection systems and control and monitoring of the HCFCs consumption, public awareness campaigns.
