1 ozone depleting substances Outline of system
1. The Russian Federation manages its
obligations for ozone depleting substances controlled by the Montreal Protocol
on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer through the Common List of Goods
that are subject of import/export prohibitions or restrictions from the part of
CU members within the framework of Eurasian Economic Community in trade with
third countries (2012) (Annex 2.1). The import, export and manufacture of
the ozone depleting substances is prohibited under the Montreal Protocol except
where an essential or critical use exemption has been granted by the parties to
the Montreal Protocol. The Russian Federation’s Montreal Protocol obligations
are implemented through a system of licensing and quota restrictions on ozone
depleting substances.
Purpose and coverage of licensing
2. The
requirements of the licensing system are:
- import or export of ozone
depleting substances, with import quotas set in line with Montreal Protocol
obligations;
- Pre-charged
equipment containing ozone depleting substances.
Strict conditions and reporting
requirements apply in relation to all licenses issued.
