This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Environment Agency has already published responsibilities for fluorinated gas wholesalers or resellers. This includes only selling to customers who hold (or who employ people who hold) the relevant certificates and qualifications. See:
