(2) Recent evidence indicates that for the adequate protection of the ozone layer a higher degree of control of trade in ozone depleting substances is required than is provided by the Montreal Protocol, as amended in 1997. The same evidence indicates that there should be additional measures to control production of ozone-depleting substances and in particular on hydrochlorofluorcarbons and new substances.

(4) The Commission, on behalf of the Community, took part in the negotiation and adoption of that amendment.
(5) The Community has adopted measures in the area covered by the amendment, in particular in Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer(7), and it should, therefore, undertake international commitments in that area.
