Customs training and licensing

The Twenty-seventh Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:

(a)  that no funds should be expended on customs-training projects until either the relevant legislation was already in place or substantial progress had been made towards promulgating such legislation;

(b)  to request Implementing Agencies to transfer to countries that were in the process of preparing legislation information on ODS issues of relevance to customs authorities so that, as stakeholders, they would be able to provide informed inputs into the legislation preparation process;

(c)  to examine, mindful of its decision 25/32, customs-training projects on a case-by-case basis in order to determine whether or not chemical-identification equipment should be included in them.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/48, Decision 27/19, para. 44).

The Executive Committee also decided:

(a)  no funds should be expended on customs-training projects until either the relevant legislation was already in place or substantial progress had been made towards promulgating such legislation;

(b)  UNEP is requested to transfer to countries in the process of preparing legislation, information on ODS issues of relevance to customs authorities so that, as stakeholders, they would be able to provide informal inputs into the legislation-preparation process.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/48, Decision 27/35, para. 62).

The Thirty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee decided that it was prepared to approve project proposals for the development of implementation of licensing schemes. In that process, the Secretariat would be requested, in each case, to seek information from countries on the status of their ratification of the Montreal Amendment, as well as whether they had a licensing system in place, and to report such information to the Executive Committee.

(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/32/44, Decision 32/27, para. 39).
