Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 and Annex
III thereto.

Article 4(2)(i)(d) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000
prohibits
each producer and importer placing any
methyl bromide on the market or using any for their
own account after 31 December 2004. Article 4(4)(i)(b)
of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 allows a derogation
from this prohibition if methyl bromide is used to meet
the licensed requests for critical uses of those users iden-
tified as described in Article 3(2)(ii) of that Regulation.
The quantity of methyl bromide licensed for critical uses
for the period 1 January to 31 December 2008 will be
published in a separate Commission Decision.

Article 4(2)(iii) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 allows
a derogation from Article 4(2)(i)(d) if methyl bromide is
imported or produced for quarantine and pre-shipment
(QPS) applications. The amount of methyl bromide that
can be imported or produced for these purposes in 2008

must not exceed the average of the calculated level of
methyl bromide which a producer or importer placed on

31 December 2008.

The Commission has published a notice to importers in
