That the Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Legislation Amendment Bill 2003, the Ozone Protection (Licence Fees—Imports) Amendment Bill 2003, and the Ozone Protection (Licence Fees—Manufacture) Amend-ment Bill 2003 be referred to the Environment, Communications, Information Technology and the Arts References Committee for inquiry and report by 31 March 2004, with particular reference to:

(a) the need to phase out ozone-depleting substances and synthetic greenhouse gases;

(b) the means by which the use of air conditioning can be reduced and the transition to natural refrigerants can be encouraged;

(c) the desirability of banning imports of split system refrigeration and air conditioning equipment `pre-charged' with hydro-fluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluoro-carbons; and
