Other applicants that have been issued with an export authorisation in 2003 should complete and submit the relevant form(s) according to the export substance(s) on the ODS website http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ods/index.htm in order to receive an Export Authorisation Number (EAN).

A copy of the application should also be sent to the competent authority of the Member State (cf. Annex II).

An EAN will be provided and the applicant notified providing the application meets the eligibility criteria for an Export Authorisation Number. A user may export the controlled substances listed in Annex I to this Notice during the course of 2004 only if it is in possession of an EAN issued by the Commission. The Commission reserves the right to withhold issuing an EAN where it is not satisfied with the information provided.

(2004/C 133/04)

This notice is addressed to users that intend to:

| 1. | Use the above substances within the Community for the manufacture of Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs), |
| --- | --- |

1.

Use the above substances within the Community for the manufacture of Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs),

| 2. | Acquire the above substances for laboratory and analytical uses directly from a producer or by import into the Community and not from a distributor of the substances. |
| --- | --- |

2.

Acquire the above substances for laboratory and analytical uses directly from a producer or by import into the Community and not from a distributor of the substances.

Controlled substances for essential uses may be obtained from production within the Community and, if necessary, by import from sources outside the Community.

Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer sets out criteria and a procedure for determining ‘essential uses’ for which continued production and consumption is allowed after phase-out.

Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) 2037/2000, as amended in Regulation (EC)2038/2000, requires the determination of quantities for essential uses of the above-mentioned controlled substances which may be permitted in the Community in 2004, in accordance with Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol

Decision XIV/14 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorised the levels of production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of CFCs for metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. For the production of MDIs in the European Community in 2004, the quantity of CFCs 11, 12, 113 and 114 authorised by the Parties in Decision XIV/14 is 1,884,000.00 kilograms (one million eight hundred and eighty four thousand).

In accordance with Decision X/19 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the purity of controlled substances for laboratory purposes should be at least 99.0 % for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 99.5 % for CFCs and carbon tetrachloride. These high purity substances and mixtures containing controlled substances shall be supplied only in re-closable containers or high pressure cylinders smaller than three litres or in 10 millilitre or smaller glass ampoules, marked clearly as substances that deplete the ozone layer, restricted to laboratory use and analytical purposes and specifying that used or surplus substances should be collected and recycled, if practical. The material should be destroyed if recycling is not practical.

Decision XV/8 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances listed in Annexes A, B and C (Group II and III substances) of the Montreal Protocol for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties.

The procedures for allocating quantities of controlled substances for the above essential uses carried out under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 and Regulation (EC) No 2038/2000 is the following:

| 1. | An enterprise that has not been issued with a quota in 2003 and that requests consideration by the Commission for an essential use quota for the period 1 May 2004 to 31 December 2004 should make itself known to the Commission no later than 15 May 2004:
