The
Seventh Meeting of the Parties decided that the amount of controlled substances
produced and exported for the purpose of being entirely used as feedstock in
the manufacture of other chemicals in importing countries should not be the
subject of the calculation of "production" or "consumption"
in exporting countries. Importers shall, prior to export, provide exporters
with a commitment that the controlled substances imported shall be used for
this purpose. In addition, importing countries shall report to the Secretariat
on the volumes of controlled substances imported for these purposes.
The
Parties also decided that the amount of controlled substances entirely used as
feedstock in the manufacture of other chemicals should not be the subject of
calculation of "consumption" in importing countries.
