THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1), and in particular Article 10(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Union has already phased out the production and consumption of controlled substances for most uses. The Commission is required to determine the quantities of controlled substances other than hydrochlorofluorocarbons that may be used for essential laboratory and analytical uses, and the companies that may use them.

(2) The Commission has published a notice to undertakings intending to import or export controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer to or from the European Union in 2011 and undertakings intending to request for 2011 a quota for these substances intended for laboratory and analytical uses (2) and has received declarations on intended laboratory and analytical uses of controlled substances for 2011.

(3) The determination of the allocated quota shall ensure that the quantitative limits set out in Article 10(6) are respected. As those quantitative limits include quantities of hydrochlorofluorocarbons licensed for laboratory and analytical uses, the production and import of hydrochlorofluorocarbons for those uses should also be covered by this Decision.

(4) The quantity resulting from the deduction of the quantities allocated to undertakings which produced or imported under licence in the years 2007 to 2009 from the maximum quantity of 110 ODP tons should be allocated to undertakings for which no production or import licences were issued in the reference period 2007 to 2009. The allocation mechanism should ensure that all undertakings requesting a new quota receive an appropriate share of the quantities to be allocated.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The quotas for importing and producing controlled substances for laboratory and analytical uses in the year 2011 shall be allocated to the undertakings listed in Annex I.

The maximum quantities that may be produced or imported in 2011 for laboratory and analytical uses allocated to these undertakings are set out in Annex II.

Article 2

This Decision shall apply from 1 January 2011 and shall expire on 31 December 2011.
