Description
of content: The Ministry of
Environment proposes to amend the provisions of the "Regulations for

Add a
definition for HCFC-containing products or equipment, and revise the
definitions of HCFCs and consumption quantity.
2._
Adjust the
control timelines for the consumption and production of HCFCs, as well as the
restrictions on their use, to reflect that certain timelines have already
passed.
3._
Simplify the
current allocation system by adopting a single annual allocation process to
better meet practical needs.
4._
Add application
procedures for exempted uses permitted under Montreal Protocol resolutions,
which are not included in consumption calculations.
5._
Add regulations
on the import and reporting requirements for enterprises granted import
approvals for exempted uses.
6._
Clarify the
existing prohibition on importing HCFC-containing products or equipment
without prior approval.
7._
Add provisions
allowing unauthorized imports of HCFCs or HCFC-containing products or
equipment to be disposed of through sale or other appropriate methods.
