Montreal Protocol

Article 2A: CFCS

1. Each Party shall ensure that for the twelve-month period commencing on
the first day of the seventh month following the date of the entry into
force of this Protocol, and in each twelve-month period thereafter, its
calculated level of consumption of the controlled substances in Group I of
Annex A does not exceed its calculated level of consumption in 1986. By the
end of the same period, each Party producing one or more of these
substances shall ensure that its calculated level of production of the
substances does not exceed its calculated level of production in 1986,
except that such level may have increased by no more than ten per cent
based on the 1986 level. Such increase shall be permitted only so as to
satisfy the basic domestic needs of the Parties operating under Article 5
and for the purposes of industrial rationalization between Parties.

2. Each Party shall ensure that for the period from 1 July 1991 to 31
December 1992 its calculated levels of consumption and production of the
controlled substances in Group I of Annex A do not exceed 150 per cent of
its calculated levels of production and consumption of those substances in
1986; with effect from 1 January 1993, the twelve-month control period for
these controlled substances shall run from 1 January to 31 December each
year.

3. Each Party shall ensure that for the twelve-month period commencing on
1 January 1994, and in each twelve-month period thereafter, its calculated
level of consumption of the controlled substances in Group I of Annex A
does not exceed, annually, twenty-five per cent of its calculated level of
consumption in 1986. Each Party producing one or more of these substances
shall, for the same periods, ensure that its calculated level of production
of the substances does not exceed, annually, twenty-five percent of its
calculated level of production in 1986. However, in order to satisfy the
basic domestic needs of the Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article
5, its calculated level of production may exceed that limit by up to ten
per cent of its calculated level of production in 1986.

4. Each Party shall ensure that for the twelve-month period commencing on
1 January 1996, and in each twelve-month period thereafter, its calculated
level of consumption of the controlled substances in Group I of Annex A
does not exceed zero. Each Party producing one or more of these substances
shall, for the same periods, ensure that its calculated level of production
of the substances does not exceed zero. However, in order to satisfy the
basic domestic needs of the Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article
5, its calculated level of production may exceed that limit by up to
fifteen per cent of its calculated level of production in 1986. This
paragraph will apply save to the extent that the Parties decide to permit
the level of production or consumption that is necessary to satisfy uses
agreed by them to be essential.

Article 2B: Halons

1. Each Party shall ensure that for the twelve-month period commencing on 1
January 1992, and in each twelve month period thereafter, its calculated
level of consumption of the controlled substances in Group 11 of Annex A
does not exceed, annually, its calculated level of consumption in 1986.
Each Party producing one or more of these substances shall, for the same
periods, ensure that its calculated level of production of the substances
does not exceed, annually, its calculated level of production in 1986.
However, in order to satisfy the basic domestic needs of the Parties
operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5, its calculated level of
production may exceed that limit by up to ten per cent of its calculated
level of production in 1986.

2. Each Party shall ensure that for the twelve-month period commencing on
1 January 1994, and in each twelve-month period thereafter, its calculated
level of consumption of the controlled substances in Group II of Annex A
does not exceed zero. Each Party producing one or more of these substances
shall, for the same periods, ensure that its calculated level of production
of the substances does not exceed zero. However, in order to satisfy the
basic domestic needs of the Parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article
5, its calculated level of production may exceed that limit by up to
fifteen per cent of its calculated level of production in 1986. This
paragraph will apply save to the extent that the Parties decide to permit
the level of production or consumption that is necessary to satisfy uses
agreed by them to be essential.
