Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 requires that quantitative limits be determined and quotas allocated to producers and importers for 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005 in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 18(2) for the import of the substances listed under Groups I to IX of Annex I to this Notice (2).

Quotas shall be allocated for:

(a)

methyl bromide, for quarantine and pre-shipment (QPS) as defined by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol; and for critical uses in accordance with Decisions IX/6, ExI/3, ExI/4 and any other relevant criteria agreed by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 3(2)(ii) of the Regulation; both QPS and critical uses approved by the Commission, pursuant to Article 18 of the Regulation;

(b)	hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs);

(c)	essential uses in accordance with the criteria set out in Decisions IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and Article 3(1) of the Regulation; and as approved by the Commission, pursuant to Article 18 of the Regulation. A separate notice regarding essential uses has been published;

(d)	feedstock uses, as controlled substance transformed in a process in which it is entirely converted from its original composition;

(e)	processing agents, as controlled substances u sed as chemical processing agents in existing installations, where emissions are insignificant;

(f)	destruction, controlled substances that are to be destroyed by a technology approved by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol which results in the permanent transformation, or decomposition of all or a significant portion of the substance.

The quantitative limit, which producers and importers may place on the market and/or use for their own account within the European Community in 2005, is calculated:

—	for methyl bromide for QPS use from 1996-1998 (average) according to Article 4(2) (iii);

—	for HCFCs according to Article 4(3)(i)(e).

III.

Undertakings engaged in the importation of HCFCs can be either:

—	Importers who imported in 1999 and who wish to place HCFCs on the European Community market and who are not engaged in the production of HCFCs,

—	European Community producers who imported in 1999 on their own account additional HCFCs to place on the European Community market.

IV.	The quantities imported from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005 are subject to import licences. In accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation, undertakings may import the controlled substances only if they are in possession of an import licence issued by the Commission.

V.	Under Article 22 of the Regulation, the importation of new substance listed in Annex II of the Regulation is prohibited, except for feedstock uses.

VI.	For the purposes of the Regulation, quantities of substances are measured according to their ozone depleting potential (3).

VII.

The Commission hereby gives notice to an undertaking that is not in possession of a quota for 2004 and who wishes to apply to the Commission for an import quota from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005, to make itself known to the Commission no later than 3 September 2004.

VIII.

Enterprises with a quota in 2004 should make a declaration by completing and submitting the relevant form(s) on page http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ods/index.htm of EUROPA internet site. Only applications received by 3 September 2004 will be considered by the Commission.

A copy of the application should also be sent to the competent authority of the Member State (see Annex II).

IX.

Once the applications have been received, they will be considered by the European Commission and import quotas will be set for each importer and producer in consultation with the Article 18 Management Committee. The allocated quota will be available on the ODS website http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ods/home/home.cfm and all applicants will have the Decision notified by post.

In order to import controlled substances in 2005, undertakings in receipt of a quota must apply to the Commission via the ODS website for an import licence using the import licence application. Provided the Commission services are satisfied that the request is in accordance with the quota authorised and conforms to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, an import licence will be issued. The Commission reserves the right to withhold an import licence when the substance to be imported is not as described or may not be used for the purposes authorised or cannot be imported in compliance with Regulation.

XI.

Producers who import recovered or reclaimed substances, if any, are required to submit additional information with each licence application regarding the source and destination of the substance, and the processing to be undertaken. A certificate of analysis may also be requested. Importers are obliged to have destruction facilities and therefore the owner of the destruction facility would be expected to apply for the licence to import ODS for destruction.

(2) Controlled substances or mixtures which are imported in a manufactured product (other than a container used for the transport or storage of the substance) are excluded from the scope of this notice.

(3) For mixtures: only the quantity of the controlled substances in the mixture should be included in the ODP quantity. 1,1,1-trichloroethane is always put on the market with stabilisers. Importers should establish from their supplier what is the percentage of stabiliser to be deducted before calculating the ODP-weighted tonnage.

Group IV:	carbon tetrachloride
Group V:	1,1,1-trichloroethane
Group VI:	methyl bromide
Group VII:	hydrobromofluorocarbons or
Group VIII:	hydrochlorofluorocarbons
Group IX:	bromochloromethane.

Exports of chlorofluorocarbons, other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, halons, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrobromofluorocarbons and bromochloromethane or products and equipment, other than personal effects containing those substances or whose continuing function relies on the supply of these substances, are prohibited. Note that exceptions to this prohibition are exports of:

—	controlled substances produced pursuant to Article 3(6) to satisfy the basic domestic needs of Parties operating according to Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol,

—	controlled substances produced under Article 3(7) to satisfy essential or critical uses of Parties,

—	products and equipment containing controlled substances produced under Article 3(5) or imported pursuant to Article 7(b) of the Regulation,

—	products and equipment containing HCFCs to be exported to countries where the use of HCFCs in such products is still permitted, according to Article 5(5) of the Regulation,

—	recovered, recycled and reclaimed halon stored for critical uses in facilities authorised or operated by the competent authority to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII until 31 December 2009, and products and equipment containing halon to satisfy critical uses listed in Annex VII,

—	controlled substances to be used for feedstock and processing agent applications,

—

used products and equipment that contain rigid insulating foam or integral skin foam which have been produced with chlorofluorocarbons. This exemption does not apply to:

—	refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment and products;

—	refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment and products which contain chlorofluorocarbons, or whose continuing function relies on the supply of chlorofluorocarbons used as refrigerants, in other equipment and products;

—	building insulation foam and products;

—	pursuant to Article 4(2), production and import of methyl bromide for non-QPS uses is prohibited.

Pursuant to Article 11(2), export of:

—	methyl bromide to any State not party to the Protocol is prohibited,

—	from 1 January 2004, exports from the Community of hydrochlorofluorocarbons to any State not party to the Protocol shall be prohibited;

Pursuant to Article 11(3), export of:

—	hydrochlorofluorocarbons to any State not Party to the Protocol is prohibited from 1 January 2004. Party status depends on meeting criteria set out in Decision XV/3 of the Montreal Protocol.

Article 12 requires the authorisation of exports of the substances listed under Groups I to IX of Annex I to this notice (see also Annex I to the Regulation). Such export authorisations should be issued by the European Commission after verification of compliance with Article 11 (2).

For the purposes of the Regulation, quantities are measured in ODP kilograms to reflect the ozone depleting potential of the substance (3).

A user that wishes to export controlled substances listed under Group I to IX of Annex 1 of this Notice for the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005, should make itself known to the European Commission, preferably no later than 3 September 2004.

C 187/24

Notice to users of controlled substances in the European Union allowed for essential uses in the Community in 2005 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1)

(2004/C 187/05)

This Notice concerns the following substances:

—	chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115,

—	other fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons,

—	carbon tetrachloride,

—

halons,

—	1,1,1 trichloroethane,

—	hydrobromofluorocarbons (HBFCs),

—	bromochloromethane.

This notice is addressed to users that intend to:

1.	use the above substances within the Community for the manufacture of metered dose inhalers (MDIs);

2.	acquire the above substances for laboratory and analytical uses directly from a producer or by import into the Community and not from a distributor of the substances.

Controlled substances for essential uses may be obtained from production within the Community and, if necessary, by import from sources outside the Community.

Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer sets out criteria and a procedure for determining ‘essential uses’ for which continued production and consumption is allowed after phase-out.

Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2038/2000, requires the determination of quantities for essential uses of the abovementioned controlled substances which may be permitted in the Community in 2004, in accordance with Decision IV/25 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol

Decision XV/4 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorised the levels of production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of CFCs for metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases as specified in annex I, subject to the conditions established by the meeting of the Parties in paragraph 2 of its Decision VII/28. For the production of MDIs in the European Community in 2005, the quantity of CFCs 11, 12, 113 and 114 authorised by the Parties in Decision XV/4 is 1 030 000,00 kilograms (one million thirty thousand ODP-kilograms).

In accordance with Decision X/19 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the purity of controlled substances for laboratory purposes should be at least 99,0 % for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 99,5 % for CFCs and carbon tetrachloride. These high purity substances and mixtures containing controlled substances shall be supplied only in re-closable containers or high pressure cylinders smaller than three litres or in 10 millilitre or smaller glass ampoules, marked clearly as substances that deplete the ozone layer, restricted to laboratory use and analytical purposes and specifying that used or surplus substances should be collected and recycled, if practical. The material should be destroyed if recycling is not practical.

Decision XV/8 of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol authorises the production and consumption necessary to satisfy essential uses of controlled substances listed in Annexes A, B and C (Group II and III substances) of the Montreal Protocol for laboratory and analytical uses as listed in Annex IV to the report of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, subject to the conditions set out in Annex II to the report of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties.

The procedures for allocating quantities of controlled substances for the above essential uses carried out under Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 and Regulation (EC) No 2038/2000 is the following:

An enterprise that has not been issued with a quota in 2004 and that requests consideration by the Commission for an essential use quota for the period 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2005 should make itself known to the Commission no later than 3 September 2004:

Fax: (32-2) 299 87 64

Email: env-ods@cec.eu.int

Essential use applications may be made by any user of substances listed at the beginning of this Notice. For CFCs for use in MDIs, each applicant should provide the information requested on the spreadsheet available on the ODS website http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ods/home/home.cfm. For laboratory uses, each applicant should provide the information requested in the form on the website.

A copy of the application should also be sent to the competent authority of the Member State (refer to Annex I for appropriate address).

3.	Only applications received by 3 September 2004 will be considered by the Commission in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000.

4.	The Commission will issue quotas to those users and shall notify them of the use for which they have authorisation, the substance they are authorised to use and the quantity of the controlled substances concerned.

5.	Following the above procedure, the Commission on the basis of a Decision will notify applicants of the quantities of controlled substances authorised in the Community for 2005 for which production and importation of controlled substances will be permitted.

Those users holding an essential use quota for a controlled substance for 2005 will be able to make a request to a Community producer via the ODS website or, if necessary, request an import licence from the Commission for a controlled substance up to their quota limit. The producer must be authorised by the competent authority of the Member State in which its relevant production is situated to produce the controlled substance for meeting that licensed demand. The competent authority of the Member State shall notify the Commission well in advance of any such authorisation.
