1. The Tenth Meeting of the Parties decided to recall that decision IX/9 recommends:
(a) that each Party adopt legislative and administrative measures, including labeling of products and equipment, to regulate the export and import, as appropriate, of products, equipment, components and technology whose continuing functioning relies on supply of substances listed in Annex A and Annex B of the Montreal Protocol, in order to avert any adverse impact associated with the export of such products and equipment using technologies that are or will soon be obsolete because of their reliance on Annex A or Annex B substances and which would be inconsistent with the spirit of the Protocol, including decision I/12 C of the First Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol, held in Helsinki in 1989;
(b) that non-Article 5 Parties adopt appropriate measures to control, in co-operation with importing Article 5 Parties, the export of used products and equipment, other than personal effects, whose continuing functioning relies on supply of substances listed in Annex A and Annex B of the Montreal Protocol;
2. to note that in order for such export measures to be effective, both importing and exporting Parties need to take appropriate steps;
3. to note that the products and equipment listed below[2] constitute categories of products and equipment whose continued use relies on the supply of substances listed in Annex A or Annex B;
4. to invite, on a voluntary basis, those Parties that do not manufacture for domestic use products and equipment in a category listed below and that do not permit the importation of such products and equipment from any source, to inform the Secretariat, if they so choose, that they do not consent to the importation of such products and equipment;
5. to request the Secretariat to maintain a list of Parties that do not want to receive products and equipment from one or more categories listed below. This list shall be distributed to all Parties by the Secretariat at the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties and updated on an annual basis thereafter;
6. to acknowledge that the issue of imports and exports of products and equipment whose continued functioning relies on Annex A and Annex B substances should be further considered at the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties with a view to addressing more specifically the concerns of countries in the process of phasing out production of those products and equipment.
