Notice to exporters of controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer in the European Union
regarding Regulation (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council
on substances that deplete the ozone layer

(2000/C 224/04)

This notice is addressed to undertakings that intend to export
the following substances from the European Union during the
period 1 January to 31 December 2001.

and exports of controlled substances to be used for feedstock
and processing agent applications. Export of methyl bromide to
any state not a party to the Protocol is prohibited.

Article 12 of Regulation (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000 of 24
June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1)
requires the authorisation of exports of the substances listed
under Groups I to VIII of Annex I to this notice (see also
Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000).
Such export authorisations should be issued after verification
of compliance on the Article 11 of Regulation (EC) EP-COUN
3613/1/2000.

For the purposes of the Regulation quantities are measured in
ODP tonnes to reflect the ozone depleting potential of the
substance (2).

Exports of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chloro-
fluorocarbons, halons, carbontetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichlorethane
and hydrobromfluorocarbons or products and equipment,
other than personal effects containing those substances on
whose continuing function relies on the supply of
these
substances are prohibited. Exceptions to this prohibition are
exports of controlled substances produced under Article 3(6)
of Regulation (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000 to satisfy basic
domestic nedds of parties; exports of controlled substances
produced under Article 3(7)
to satisfy essential or critical
uses of Parties; products and equipment containing controlled
substances produced under Article 3(5) or imported under
Article 7(b) of Council Regulation (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000;
exports of products and equipment containing halons to satisfy
critical uses listed in Annex VII to (EC) EP-COUN 3613/1/2000;

to VIII of Annex 1 of

Undertakings wishing to export controlled substances listed
