Whereas:
(1) The Community, by reason of its responsibilities for the environment, by Decision 88/540/EEC(3) became a party to the Vienna Convention for the protection of the ozone layer and the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer, and by Decision 91/690/EEC(4) approved the First Amendment to the said Protocol, by Decision 94/68/EC(5) approved the Second Amendment to the said Protocol and by Decision 2000/646/EC(6) approved the Third Amendment to the said Protocol.
(2) Recent evidence indicates that for the adequate protection of the ozone layer a higher degree of control of trade in ozone depleting substances is required than is provided by the Montreal Protocol, as amended in 1997. The same evidence indicates that there should be additional measures to control production of ozone-depleting substances and in particular on hydrochlorofluorcarbons and new substances.

(4) The Commission, on behalf of the Community, took part in the negotiation and adoption of that amendment.
(5) The Community has adopted measures in the area covered by the amendment, in particular in Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer(7), and it should, therefore, undertake international commitments in that area.
(6) It is necessary for the Community to approve the Fourth Amendment to the Montreal Protocol because its provisions relate to production and trade in controlled substances between the Community and other Parties, the implementation of which is the responsibility of the Community,
The Fourth Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.
The text of this Amendment is attached to this Decision.
The President of the Council is hereby authorised to designate the person or persons empowered to deposit the instrument of approval of this Fourth Amendment on behalf of the Community with the Secretary-General of the United Nations in accordance with Article 13 of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer as read in conjunction with Article 3 of the Fourth Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
