The
Ninth Meeting of the Parties decided:
1. that all transfers of essential-use
authorizations for CFCs for MDIs be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at
Meetings of the Parties for approval;
2. notwithstanding paragraph 1 of the present
decision, to allow the Secretariat, in consultation with the Technology and
Economic Assessment Panel, to authorize a Party, in an emergency situation, to
transfer some or all of its authorized levels of CFCs for essential uses in
MDIs to another Party, provided that:
(a) the
transfer applies only up to the maximum level that has previously been
authorized for the calendar year in which the next Meeting of the Parties is to
be held;
(b) both
Parties involved agree to the transfer;
(c) the
aggregate annual level of authorizations for all Parties for essential uses of
MDIs does not increase as a result of the transfer;
(d) the
transfer or receipt is reported by each Party involved on the essential-use
quantity-accounting format approved by the Eighth Meeting of the Parties by
paragraph 9 of decision VIII/9.
