11. A long time ago…
The United Nations Environment Programme
was founded in 1972. It was and has been
the host of numerous protocols on issues
concerning the environment. It has
facilitated the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in
1987 as well as the meetings revising this
protocol.
13. Quick! Definitions:
• For the purposes of this Protocol:
• 1. “Convention” means the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, adopted on
22 March 1985.
• 2. “Parties” means, unless the text otherwise indicates, Parties to this Protocol.
• 3. “Secretariat” means the Secretariat of the Convention.
• 4. “Controlled substance” means a substance in Annex A, Annex B, Annex C or Annex E to this
Protocol, whether existing alone or in a mixture. It includes the isomers of any such substance,
except as specified in the relevant Annex, but excludes any controlled substance or mixture which
is in a manufactured product other than a container used for the transportation or storage of that
substance.
• 5. “Production” means the amount of controlled substances produced, minus the amount
destroyed by technologies to be approved by the Parties and minus the amount entirely used as
feedstock in the manufacture of other chemicals. The amount recycled and reused is not to be
considered as “production”.
• 6. “Consumption” means production plus imports minus exports of controlled substances.
• The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer
• 7. “Calculated levels” of production, imports, exports and consumption means levels determined in
accordance with Article 3.
• 8. “Industrial rationalization” means the transfer of all or a portion of the calculated level of
production of one Party to another, for the purpose of achieving economic efficiencies or
responding to anticipated shortfalls in supply as a result ofplant closures.

16. On CFCs
Each part shall ensure that for each 12 month period starting on the first day of the
seventh month that its calculated levels of controlled substances do not exceed its
levels in 1986.
Over the course of the next two decades, with yearly measurements, the levels of
these controlled substances must decline by a set amount. This applies to both
consumption and production.
On Halons
Same as above, starting 1992.
On Other fully Halogenated CFCs
Same as above, starting in 1993.
On Carbon tetrachloride
Same as above, starting 1995.
On Trichloroethane (Methyl chloroform)
Same as above, starting 1993.
On Hydrochlorofluorocarbons
Same as above, starting 1996.
On Hydrobromofluorocarbons
Same as above, starting 1996.
On Methyl bromide
Same as above, starting 1995.
On Bromochloromethane
Same as above, starting 2002.
