The
Thirteenth Meeting of the Parties decided:
1. to note that, in accordance with decision
X/29 of the 10th Meeting of the Parties, the Implementation Committee requested
the Secretariat to write to the following Article 5 Parties, Bangladesh, Chad,
Comoros, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Kenya, Mongolia, Morocco, Niger,
Nigeria, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Samoa and Solomon Islands, that had
reported data on CFC consumption for either the year 1999 and/or 2000 that was
above their individual baselines;
2. that since none of the above Parties has
responded to the request from the Secretariat for data for the control period
from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2000, all are presumed to be in non-compliance with
the control measures under the Protocol in the absence of further
clarification;
3. to closely monitor the progress of these
Parties with regard to the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. To the
degree that these Parties are working towards and meeting the specific Protocol
control measures, they should continue to be treated in the same manner as
Parties in good standing. In this regard, these Parties should continue to
receive international assistance to enable them to meet these commitments in accordance
with item A of the indicative list of measures that might be taken by a Meeting
of the Parties in respect of non-compliance. However, through this decision,
the Parties caution these Parties, in accordance with item B of the indicative
list of measures, that in the event that any country fails to return to
compliance in a timely manner, the Parties shall consider measures, consistent
with item C of the indicative list of measures. These measures may include the
possibility of actions available under Article 4, such as ensuring that the
supply of CFCs (that is the subject of non-compliance) is ceased and that
importing Parties are not contributing to a continuing situation of
non-compliance.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/13/10,
Decision XIII/16).
The Fourteenth Meeting of the
Parties decided:
1. to
note that, pursuant to decision X/29 of the Tenth Meeting of the Parties, the
Implementation Committee requested the Secretariat to write to those Parties
operating under Article 5 that had reported data on CFC consumption for either
the year 2000 and/or 2001 that was above their individual baselines;
2. to
note that Guatemala, Malta, Pakistan and Papua New Guinea have failed to report
data for the control period from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2001, and have reported
annual data for either 2000 or 2001 which is above their baseline. In the
absence of further clarification, these Parties are presumed to be in
non-compliance with the control measures under the Protocol;
3. to
urge these Parties to report data for the control period from 1 July 2000 to 30
June 2001 as a matter of urgency;
4)
to closely monitor the progress of these Parties with regard to
the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances. To the degree that these Parties
are working towards and meeting the specific Protocol control measures, they
should continue to be treated in the same manner as Parties in good standing.
In this regard, these Parties should continue to receive international
assistance to enable them to meet their commitments in accordance with item A
of the indicative list of measures that might be taken by a Meeting of the
Parties in respect of non-compliance. However, through this decision, the
Parties caution these Parties, in accordance with item B of the indicative list
of measures, that in the event that any Party fails to return to compliance in
a timely manner, the Parties shall consider measures, consistent with item C of
the indicative list of measures. These measures may include the possibility of
actions available under Article 4, such as ensuring that the supply of CFCs
(that is the subject of non-compliance) is ceased and that exporting Parties
are not contributing to a continuing situation of non-compliance.
