It also requests other Parties to report on their activities and would be pleased to post all Parties' submissions on the Convention website.

It's not hard it's just three oxygen atoms.

Trafficking in ozone depleting substances

Illegal trade in ozone depleting substances is controlled by the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, which aims to gradually reduce and finally phase out all ozone depleting substances.

Future ozone concentrations are mainly driven by the changes in stratospheric halogen loading, with ozone recovery occurring after the peak of halogen loading.

In 2004, the size of the ozone hole was smaller than the average over the past decade, although the total amount of ozone destroyed, which relates to the size, depth and persistence of the ozone hole, was estimated to be much higher than most years in the past decade.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer of the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer provides the framework for Parties to phase out the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances (ODS) according to a strict time table.

The term quot ozone hole quot describes a large area of intense ozone depletion that occurs over Antarctica during late August through early October and typically breaks up in late November.

At the time of the country visit this was on the agenda of the Ozone Unit and recently a high level officer was appointed to represent customs in the National Ozone Committee.

It is the spectrum of a planet like Earth, showing a presence of nitrogen dioxide, as a clear signal of life, and oxygen and ozone.

Likewise, export licensing systems or bans for re exporting ozone depleting substances were rare, as were import prohibitions for equipment containing ozone depleting substances.

We need to learn how to repair and replenish the Earth's ozone layer.

1 The World Health Organization recognizes six main types of air pollutants carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, tropospheric ozone and suspended particulate matter.

Therefore, there is no record at the NOU about stock of ODS available in these areas.

(b) Amending and upgrading the legislation framework in those Article 5 countries where it is incomplete, and improving enforcement and regional cooperation It is recommended that in some countries additional regulations regarding the exports of ODS, licensing schemes for all ODS imports, the ban of ODS sales to non licensed companies and restrictions for ODS based refrigeration and air conditioning equipment might be introduced and applied.

Recommendations Improving the involvement of customs, including the higher levels of hierarchy, in the ODS phase out It would be useful if high ranking customs officers participated in the National Ozone Committees.
