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

An undertaking wishing to export controlled substances listed
under Groups I to VIII of Annex I of
this Notice for the
12-month period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December
2002, should apply to the Commission for an export author-
isation number (EAN), preferably no later than one month
after the publication of this notice. They should complete
and submit
form(s) according to the export
substance(s), which can be found on the Europa Internet
website: http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ods/index.htm.
An undertaking that does not have Internet access may address

Further enquiries can also be made by fax (32-2) 299 87 64, or
by e-mail to sabine.cardinal@cec.eu.int.

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

An EAN will be provided and the applicant notified providing
the application meets the eligibility criteria for an export auth-
orisation number. Undertakings may export
the controlled
substances listed in Annex I to this Notice during the course
of 2002 only if they are in possession of an EAN issued by the
Commission. The Commission reserves the right to withhold
requests in cases where it is not satisfied with the information
provided.

2038/2000 (OJ L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 25) and Regulation (EC) No
2039/2000 (OJ L 244, 29.9.2000, p. 26).

(2) For mixtures: only the quantity of the controlled substances in the
mixture should be included in the ODP quantity. 1,1,1-trich-
loroethane is always put on the market with stabilisers. Exporters
should establish from their supplier what
is the percentage of
stabiliser
to be deducted before calculating the ODP-weighted
tonnage.

(1) These ozone-depleting potentials are estimates based on existing knowledge and will be reviewed and revised periodically in the light

of decisions taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer.

(2) This formula does not refer to 1,1,2-trichloroethane.
(3) Identifies the most commercially-viable substance as prescribed in the Protocol.
