Notice to exporters of controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer in the European Union
regarding Regulation (EC) 2037/2000 of
the Council on
‘Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer’ (1) — restricted to countries acceding to the European
Union on 1 May 2004 —

the European Parliament and of

(2004/C 133/03)

This Notice is addressed to undertakings that intend to export the following substances from the European
Union during the period 1 May 2004 to 31 December 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,

Group IX::

bromochloromethane

Exports of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride,
1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons and bromochloromethane or products and equip-
ment, other than personal effects 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:

— Controlled substances produced under Article 3 (6) to satisfy the Basic Domestic Needs of Parties oper-

ating under to Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol;

— 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 the Regulation;

— Recovered, recycled and reclaimed halon stored for critical uses in facilities authorised or operated by
the competent authority to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII until 31 December 2009, and
products and equipment containing halon to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII;

— Controlled substances to be used for feedstock and processing agent applications;

— Used products and equipment that contain rigid insulating foam or integral skin foam which have been

produced with chlorofluorocarbons. This exemption does not apply to:

— Refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment and products;

— refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment and products which contain chlorofluorocarbons, or
whose continuing function relies on the supply of chlorofluorocarbons used as refrigerants, in other
equipment and products;

— Building insulation foam and products.

— Under Article 11 (2), export of:

— Methyl bromide to any state not party to the Protocol is prohibited.

— From 1 January 2004, exports from the Community of hydrochlorofluorocarbons to any State not

party to the Protocol shall be prohibited.

— Under Article 11(3), export of:

— Hydrochlorofluorocarbons to any State not Party to the Protocol is prohibited from 1 January
2004. Party status depends on meeting criteria set out in Decision XV/3 of the Montreal Protocol.

Article 12 requires the authorisation of exports of the substances listed under Groups I to IX of Annex I to
this Notice (cf. also Annex I of the Regulation). Such export authorisations should be issued by the
Commission after verification of compliance to Article 11 (1).

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

A user that wishes to export controlled substances listed under Group I to IX of Annex 1 of this Notice for
the eight-month period from 1 May 2004 to 31 December 2004, should make itself known to the
Commission, preferably no later than 15 May 2004.

Other applicants that have been issued with an export authorisation in 2003 should complete and submit
the relevant form(s) according to the export substance(s) on the ODS website http://europa.eu.int/comm/
environment/ods/index.htm in order to receive an Export Authorisation Number (EAN).

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

An EAN will be provided and the applicant notified providing the application meets the eligibility criteria
for an Export Authorisation Number. A user 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.

(1) Amended by Regulation (EC) 1804/2003, published in the OJEC L265 of 16 october 2003, p. 1.
(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 what is
the percentage of stabiliser to be deducted before calculating the weighted tonnage.
