The major regulation is the Turkish National Ozone Policy (NOP), which was published in the official gazette by the end of July 1999.
The NOP actually came into force in 1998, where a quota system for import of ODS and ODS containing equipment was introduced.
The NOP ban import ODS containing equipment and introduced a new quota system for ODS by January 1, 2000, which is revised annualy.
The new regulation has been published on May 2006 in official gazette which bans import of CFC’s dating from 1st January 2006 and Halons dating from 1st January 2008 except essential use (laboratories etc.)
Recovery and recycling for servicing of existing ODS containing appliances has also been regulated.
Responsibilities of TTGV (1)
To act as a financial intermediary for the disbursement of funds to the single private sector.

To help enterprises prepare investment project for funding from the OTF.
Responsibilities of TTGV (2)
To review each sub-project's eligibility under the MP.
To carry out environmental, technical and financial appraisals of each sub-project.
To supervise and monitor the sub-projects
To administer the rollover of the loan component of the fund provided for the sub-projects.

PODS: Project Supports PODS Projects through WB
Total fund is $ 26,1 Million (PODS-I, PODS-II Projects: 9 refrigeration (incl. RSP), 12 foam, 2 MeBr, 3 solvent, 1
Aerosol, 1 Halon sectors & 3 IS project. 170 companies under 31 sub-projects have been supported with the
amount of $ 25.1 Million. Of this project, “Refrigeration ODS Phase out Sector Plan (RSP)”
covers full conversion of refrigeration sector with a total budget of $9 Million USD.
A revolving fund has been established with the 30% loan of PODS project supports.
PODS Projects through UNIDO 12 projects have been supported with the amount of $4.2 million
With an innovative implementation procedure, ODS consumption of Turkey has been phased out in 2006.

Other Activities Carried Out (1)
In 1995, a survey was made to define the sectors
In 1996, seminars in Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir For refrigeration, foam, solvent, aerosol, fire
extinguishing About Ozone depletion, alternative
technologies, criteria for project appraisal and approval
In 1997 and 1998, seminars continued
Other Activities Carried Out (2)
In 1998, Preparation of Halon Banking Assessment Report Preparation of National Strategy and Action Plan for MeBr Survey for SME’s in refrigeration sector Farmer survey for MeBr Survey for SME’s in foam sector
In 1998-1999, Demonstration projects performed for refrigeration, foam
and solvent sectors Preparation & Submittal of Refrigeration Sector Plan
(RSP)
In 2002, Preparation & Submittal of Halon Banking Project
Refrigeration Sector Plan
77 commercial refrigerator producers (SME’s) have been supported with an amount of $1.9 Million for the conversion of non-ODS technologies under SME conversion programme.
Refrigeration Sector Plan
The training programme has been started in 2004 for SME`s and service shops in refrigeration sector. About 4500 technicians have been trained as of today. The training programme is still under implementation by “MoEdu” for which the mechanism of continuity and spreading widely throughout the Turkish Education System, has been established.
Refrigeration Sector Plan
3 reclaim centers and 24 recycling centers have been established to recover and reclaim of ODS refrigerants as part of a national recycling program in Ankara, Izmir & Istanbul and in other smaller provinces throughout Turkey.
Refrigeration Sector Plan
Training programme for 200 custom officers and ODS identifiers for custom authorities have been provided for the enforcement of import control regulation.
Refrigeration Sector Plan
Under chiller replacement programme, 39 chillers of 21 buildings, hotels and factories have been replaced with an amount of $4.5 million. This conversion process to non-ODS and energy saving technologies resulted in 18.6 MT ODP elimination and 20-30% energy reduction.
Refrigeration Sector Plan
Under end-user retrofits programme, about 1000 commercial refrigerators of 3 firms have been retrofitted to non-ODS and energy saving technologies, which resulted in about 1 MT ODP elimination and 20 % energy reduction.
Expert Evaluation by TTGV Detailed evaluation of the project by external technical
experts (private/university/public) Detailed financial audit of the company by external
financial experts
Endorsement by MoEF No-objection by the WB / Approval by MLF Contract Signing
Guarantee letter, mortgage, cheque, etc. if needed
Key factors for successful implementation (1)
Supervision by TTGV project expert External technical expert Supervision by WB team
Monthly evaluation of expenditures and disbursement Progress reports, Final report requirement Repayment period
Zero interest rate Long-term period(2-3 years) Tight follow-up
Key factors for successful implementation (2)
Long evaluation period and process before approval of Fund
Late decision for approving of Fund Insufficient fund approval for projects Inflexibility on the project budget during
implementation Insufficient own resources of companies Economical problems of the Country Lack of qualified personnel and management
capacity of SME’s
Difficulties
Lessons Learned (1)
Private sector, including SME’s, is highly interested in a fund implemented by a non-governmental organization (NGO)
Fund implementation through local executing agency is important for success.
NGO type local executing agencies have no red-tape, so that, they can give quick response for the needs of industry.
Very lean organizational structure supported by a large pool of consultants reduces office cost and service expenditures.
Lessons Learned (2)
Effective and productive cooperation between MoEF, TTGV and the World Bank is important.
Clearly defined role and mechanisms for a local executing agency is important for success.
Tailor-made products and services are important while working with different sectors. (project design, support, guidelines, for procurement, monitoring, reporting and certification)
Legislative support of government is very beneficial for the successful implementation of a project
In 1997, Turkey received an
award from the United Nations
for being among 9
countries, out of 49, to most successfully
implement the Montreal Protocol.
