Notice to proposed exporters from the European Union in 2008 of controlled substances that
deplete the ozone layer under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the
Council on ‘substances that deplete the ozone layer’

(2007/C 164/09)

I.

This Notice is addressed to undertakings that intend to export the following substances from the
European Community during the period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008.

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

Group VIII: hydrochlorofluorocarbons

Group IX:

bromochloromethane

II.

Exports from the Community of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons,
halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons or products and
equipment, other than personal effects, containing those substances or whose continuing function
relies on supply of those substances shall be prohibited. This prohibition shall not apply to exports of:

(a) controlled substances produced under Article 3(6) to satisfy the basic domestic needs of Parties

pursuant to Article 5 of the Protocol;

(b) controlled substances produced under Article 3(7) to satisfy essential or critical uses of Parties;

(c) products and equipment containing controlled substances produced under Article 3(5) or imported

under Article 7(b);

(d) 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 of the Regulation until
31 December 2009, and products and equipment containing halon to satisfy critical uses listed in
Annex VII of the Regulation;

(e) controlled substances to be used for feedstock and processing agent applications;

(f) metered dose inhalers and delivery mechanisms containing chlorofluorocarbons for hermetically
sealed devices for implementation in the human body for delivery of measured doses of medication
which may be given a temporary authorisation;

(g) 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
used as refrigerants, or whose continuing function relies on the supply of chlorofluorocarbons
used as refrigerants, in other equipment and products,

— building insulation foam and products;

(h) products and equipment containing HCFCs to be exported to countries where the use of HCFCs in

such products is still permitted.

Exports from the Community of methyl bromide and hydrochlorofluorocarbons to any State not party
to the Protocol shall be prohibited.

III. Article 12 requires the authorisation of exports of the substances listed in Annex I. Such export
authorisations should be issued by the European Commission after verification of compliance to
Article 11 of the Regulation.

IV.

The Commission hereby gives notice to an undertaking that wishes to export controlled substances
between 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 and have never been issued an export authorisation
before to make itself known to the Commission no later than 1 September 2007 by submitting the
registration form available online at:

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/ozone/ods_documents/ods_registration_form.doc

After their registration in the ODS-database they also need to follow the procedure described in V.

V.

Undertakings who were issued an export authorisation in previous years should make a declaration by
completing and submitting the relevant form(s) online via the ODS-database available at:

http://ec.europa.eu/environment/ozone/ods.htm

After the online submission a signed print of the export declaration form needs to be sent to the
Commission:

European Commission
Directorate-General Environment
Unit ENV.C.4 — Industrial Emissions & Protection of the ozone layer
BU-5 2/200
B-1049 Brussels
Fax (32-2) 292 06 92
E-mail: env-ods@ec.europa.eu

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

VI. Only applications received by 1 September 2007 will be considered by the Commission. The submis-

sion of an export declaration by itself does not give any right to perform exports.

VII.

In order to export controlled substances in 2008, undertakings that submitted an export declaration
must apply to the Commission via the ODS-database for an export authorisation number (EAN)
using the online EAN application form. An EAN will be issued if the Commission is satisfied that
the request is in accordance with the declaration and conforms to the requirements of Regulation (EC)
No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The applicant will be informed by
e-mail about the acceptance of the request. The Commission reserves the right to withhold an EAN
when the substance to be exported is not as described or may not be used for the purposes authorised
or cannot be exported in compliance with the Regulation.

VIII. To verify the description of the substance and the purpose of the export, the Commission may ask
the applicant to submit additional information for consideration of a request for an EAN for exports to
satisfy the basic domestic needs or to satisfy essential or critical uses of Parties in the context of
Article 11(1)(a) and 11(1)(b) of the Regulation.

This concerns especially:

— a confirmation from the producer that the substance was produced for the specified purpose and,

— a confirmation from the applicant that the substance will only be exported for the specified

purpose and,

— the name and address of the final recipient in the final destination country.

The Commission reserves the right to issue such an EAN only after the competent authority in the
destination country confirmed the purpose of the exports and that the export will not trigger a non-
compliance status in relation to the provisions of the Montreal Protocol.
