  1  OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES  
Outline of System  
1. The Republic of Kazakhstan manages its obligations for ozone depleting substances controlled by 
the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The import, export and 
manufacture of the ozone depleting substances is prohibited 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 coverage of licensing  
2. The  requirements of the licensing systems are:  
 
- import or export of ozone depleting substances;  
- Pre-charged equipment containing ozone -depleting substances.  
 
Strict conditions and reporting requirements apply in relatio n to all licenses issued.
