Recapturing/recycling and destruction of methyl bromide from space fumigation

The Seventeenth Meeting of the Parties decided:

1.   to encourage Parties who have deployed in the past, currently deploy or plan to deploy technologies to recapture/recycle/destroy or reduce methyl bromide emissions from fixed facilities or sea container fumigation applications to submit to the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel details of efficacy, including destruction and removal efficiency (DRE), logistical issues and the economic feasibility of such fumigations, by 1 April 2006;

2.   to encourage Parties to report on any harmful by-products created using such technologies;

3.   to adopt the form below for the purpose of submitting data;

4.   to include the findings of data submitted in the 2006 progress report of the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel and summarize Parties’ positive and negative past experiences of recovery and destruction technologies.
