from 1 January 2004.

Group I:

CFC 11, 12, 113, 114 or 115,

Group II:

other fully halogenated CFCs,

Group III:

halon 1211, 1301 or 2402,

Group IV:

carbon tetrachloride,

Group V:

1,1,1 trichloroethane,

Group VI:

methyl bromide,

Group VII:

hydrobromofluorocarbons or

Group VIII:

hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

carbon

halons,

Exports of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chloro-
fluorocarbons,
1,1,1-trich-
loroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons or products and
equipment, other
containing those
substances or whose continuing function relies on the supply
of these substances, are prohibited. Note that exceptions to this
prohibition are exports of:

effects

— controlled substances produced in accordance with Article
3(6) to satisfy the basic domestic needs of Parties operating
under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol;

— controlled substances produced in accordance with Article

3(7) to satisfy essential or critical uses of Parties;

— products and equipment containing controlled substances
produced in accordance with Article 3(5) or imported in
accordance with Article 7(b) of the Regulation;

— products and equipment containing halon to satisfy critical

uses listed in Annex VII of the Regulation;

Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 requires the auth-
orisation of exports of the substances listed under Groups I to
VIII of Annex I to this Notice (cf. also Annex I of the Regu-
lation). Such export authorisations should be issued by the
Commission after verification of compliance to Article 11 of
the Regulation.

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

An undertaking that has not been issued with an export auth-
orisation in 2003 and that wishes
to export controlled
substances listed under Group I to VIII of Annex 1 of this
Notice for the twelve-month period from 1 January 2004 to
31 December 2004,
itself known to the
should make
Commission, preferably no later than 22 August 2003.

Other applicants that have been issued with an export author-
the relevant
isation in 2003 should complete and submit
form(s)
substance(s) on page
to the

of Europa internet site in order to receive an Export Author-
isation Number (EAN).

according

export

— controlled substances

to be used for

feedstock and

processing agent applications.

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

— metered dose inhalers and delivery mechanisms containing
for
chlorofluorocarbons for hermetically sealed devices
implantation in the human body for delivery of measured
doses of medication which in accordance with Article 4(1),
may be given a temporary authorisation in accordance with
the procedure referred to in Article 18(2).

In accordance with Article 11(2), export of methyl bromide to
any State not Party to the Protocol is prohibited.

An EAN will be provided and the applicant notified providing
the application meets the eligibility criteria for an export auth-
orisation number. An undertaking 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.

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 quantity. 1,1,1-trichloroethane is
always put on the market with stabilisers. Exporters should establish
from their supplier the percentage of stabiliser to be deducted
before calculating the 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.
