Hi all, i personally think that England is taking the lead in the global warming thing but it is coming at a cost to the engineer or the companies who have to pay. I have a very small air con business in Spain and nothing is being done over here to my knowledge about re-claiming of gases or preventing leakage like the CITB 2079. The ammount of units i have found leaks on and repaired is tremendous. The first step towards fighting global warming, is to stop DIY shops and supermarkets selling air conditioning to the general public. The whole of the eu countries have to work together at the same time to move forward otherwise what is the point in implementing this in one country and not the rest especially when most of the gas leakage problems are in other countries.
