Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The import, export and manufacture of the 
ozone depleting substances is prohib ited under the Montreal Protocol, except where an essential or 
critical use exemption has been granted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. Kazakhstan's 
Montreal Protocol obligations are implemented through a system of licensing.  
 
Purposes and coverag e of licensing  
2. The requirements of the licensing systems are:
