 ---pagebreak---                                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The proposed draft Decision and Regulation are a continuation of the Community
policy for the protection of the ozone layer of the earth , which has been
established since 1980 .           This policy is based on the two Council Decisions
80/ 372 / EEC and 82 / 795 / EEC . These two Decisions instituted the reduction by 30
X of the use of CFCs in aerosols and the freeze of Community production of
these substances to 1980 levels .
The European Community signed in March 1985 the Vienna Convention on the
Protection of the Ozone Layer .          Nine Member States have by now also signed
this Convention .
In September 1987 the European Community along with most of its Member States
signed the Montreal Protocol that was established under the Vienna Convention .
Both the Convention and the Protocol are international agreements achieved in
the context of the United Nations Environment Program .              They have as their
goal the common action by all countries of the world for the protection of the
ozone layer from a possible reduction that could entrain serious consequences
for health and the environment .
Recent scientific reports on the depletion of the ozone layer over the
Antartica in Spring and other studies on the total ozone layer indicate that a
reduction in the use of chlorof luorocarbons ( CFCs ) and halons is appropriate .
The use of these substances is thought to be a probable cause for the
depletion of the ozone layer .
The proposed Council Decision intends to result in a simultaneous ratification
by the Community and the Member States of the Vienna Convention and of the
Montreal Protocol in a timely manner since the Protocol is to enter into force
on 1 January 1989 .
The protocol can enter into force at this date if and only if the Vienna
Convention comes into force by the same date .               For this to happen twenty
countries need to have ratified the Convention by 1 October 1988 .
This deadline then gives the length of time available for the ratification of
the Convention by the Community and its Member States . In case that the above
conditions are not met the entry into force of the Protocol will be delayed to
at least three months after 1 January 1989 .
The proposed Regulation intends to institute on a Community basis the system
of control of the production and consumption of CFCs and halons that is
contained in the Protocol .              The  international   scientific  and political
situation regarding this issue require both the speedy adoption of the
Community policy outlined below .
The most important provisions of the Montreal Protocol deal with control of
production and consumption of CFCs and halons .                  Article 2 imposes an
obligation , with effect from 1st July 1989 , not to allow either production or
consumption of CFCs to rise above their respective levels in 1986 .            However ,
production is allowed to increase by up to 10 % above the level in 1986 ,
provided that this increase is either for the purposes of industrial
rationalisation or to satisfy the domestic needs of the developing countries
to which Article 5 of the Protocol applies .             There are parallel provisions
( Article 2 ( 2 )) for halons , but the standstill obligation applies only from
1st January 1992 .
                                                                                   г

The proposed Regulation has been drafted so as to allow industrial
rationalisation either within a Member State , between Member States , or
between a producer in a Member State and a producer in a non-Member State .
The Regulation would also permit the industrial rationalisation envisaged by
Article 2 ( 5 ) of the Protocol .   The Regulation has been drafted in such a way
as to make it easy for Member States to ensure that their obligations under
the Protocol are being carried out in conformity with Community law .
The Article on control of production also implements the reduction, to 80 % of
1986 levels , in CFC production, and the proposed 50 % reduction which ( unless
the Parties to the Protocol agree otherwise ) is to take place by 1998 .
In order to control consumption of CFCs and halons in the Community , it is
necessary to control supply rather than demand .         Supply can be controlled
conveniently by regulating imports and by limiting the quantities , produced
within the Community , which may be sold ( or used by producers themselves )
within the Community .      There are relatively few producers of CFCs and halons
in the Community .     Restricting consumption through demand rather than supply
would involve regulating use of the controlled substances by a much greater
number of user companies ,         and would be administratively inefficient .
Regulating consumption by limiting supply also has the advantage that it tends
to increase the price , this putting pressure on users to seek alternatives
which are less environmentally damaging .      It is convenient to control supply
and thereby control consumption without controlling exports or stocks ( since
there is no need to control either ).            It is not possible to control
consumption in the Community through controls on production , because such a
high proportion of total Community production is normally exported . Therefore
it is necessary to limit the quantities which producers in the Community are
permitted to sell within the Community , and to use themselves . The quantities
which Community companies produce , in excess of the quantities which they are
permitted to sell or use in the Community , will have to be exported or
stocked .
Under the Articles on control of production and consumption , each producer
will be able to calculate exactly how much he may produce and how much he may
sell , or use himself , within the Community .      In addition , he may be able to
obtain the right to sell or use additional quantities , either because imports
into the Community have been less than expected , or by buying the right to
sell or use an additional quantity from another producer in the Community . In
either case the individual producer concerned can be allowed to increase his
sales ( or his own use ) without causing any net increase in total Community
consumption .
The articles on the control of import and the sale or use in the Community of
the controlled substances have as a practical result the strict compliance
with the freeze to 1986 levels of the Community consumption in 1989 and its
subsequent reduction by 20 % in 1992 and by 50 % in 1998 with respect to 1986
levels .
The remaining articles deal with possible penalties for non-compliance , the
control mechanism for assuring that measures are being complied with and a
management committee that will help the Commission with the administration of
the control systems .
                                                                               J

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Articles 113 , 116 and 130 S thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ,
Whereas the Community signed the Convention for the Protection of the Ozone
Layer on 22 March 1985 together with several of its Member States ;
Whereas it is established that continued emissions of chlorof luorocarbons and
halons at current levels are likely to cause significant damage to the ozone
layer ; whereas there is international consensus that significant reductions in
both production and consumption of all such substances are necessary ; whereas
Council Decisions 80 / 372 / EECl and 82/795 / EEC2 provide controls which are of
severely limited effect and which cover only two such substances CCFC 11 and
CFC 12 ); whereas it is necessary for the preservation , protection and improve¬
ment of the environment to conclude the Vienna Convention and its Protocol ,
which is based on the principle of preventive action to avoid further damage to
the ozone layer and is also based on available scientific and technical data ;
whereas it is necessary for the Community to become a Contracting Party of the
Protocol because certain of its provisions can only be implemented if the
Community and all its Member States become Parties ;
Whereas in the context of its commercial policy , the Community should establish
a procedure for the restriction of imports of the controlled substances , so
that the conditions for the consumption of those substances within the Community
specified by the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer
are met ;
Whereas the Montreal Protocol was negotiated and adopted on 16 September 1987
and was signed on behalf of the Community and of several of its Member States ;
Whereas the Community should approve the Vienna Convention and the Montreal
 Protocol ;

Whereas certain provisions of the Protocol , in particular Article 2(8 ), will
apply in the Community only if all Member States become parties to the
Protocol ;
Whereas in order for all the obligations under the Convention and the Protocol
to be appropriately carried out , it is necessary that all Member States should
also become Contracting Parties ;
Whereas all Member States should conclude as rapidly as possible their procedures
for signature , accession and ratification of the Convention and the Protocol
respectively , with a view to simultaneous ratification ;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION :
                                  Article 1
The Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal
Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer are hereby approved on

simultaneous approval and ratification by the Community and the Member States
concerned .
2 . Member States which have not yet signed the Montreal Protocol shall proceed
to signature as soon as possible . All Member States shall determine before
15 September 1988 whether they will ratify the Protocol , in order to permit
simultaneous approval and ratification by the Community and its Member States .
3.  When all Member States have notified the Commission of their determination
to ratify the Convention and the Protocol the Commission shall fix a date for
simultaneous approval and ratification not later than 15 September 1988 .
