Additional reported information
Information reported by the Parties on illegal trade (Decision XIV/7 (7))
Parties are invited to report to the Ozone Secretariat fully proved cases of illegal trade in ozone-depleting substances.
| Party | Seizure Date Year | Substances Traded | Volume | Importing Exporting Country | Illegal Trade Details | Action Taken | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nigeria | 2013 | CFC-12 | 89 Cylinders of 16.8KG ≈ 1.5 MT of CFC-12 | from China to Nigeria | In 2013, a company illegally imported 89 cylinders containing 16.8 kg of CFC-12 refrigerant each from China to Lagos, Nigeria. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC) are designated national authorities responsible for control of import/export and issuance of license/permits to chemical importers in Nigeria. NCS and NAFDAC in collaboration confiscated this illegal import. The shipment papers did not state that it was CFC-12. It was identified using gas identifiers. | The seized goods were received by the NOU and safely stored at the Ozone village- a centre for Ozone-friendly technology development. The company that illegally traded in the CFC-12 was fined, which was paid and also issued with a letter of warning. The company is still doing operating but under a very strict supervision by the relevant chemical regulatory agency. The CFC-12 was destructed using rotary kiln incineration technology, under Nigeria’s Pilot ODS wastes Disposal Project implemented by UNIDO. | in 2019 UNEP issued global award certificates for NAFDAC & NCS in recognition of their roles in preventing illegal use of banned Ozone Depleting Substances, specifically CFC-12 in Nigeria and encouraged the Ministry to present the certificates to the agencies during celebration of the Ozone Day. The award certificates and medals were presented to the two organizations, accordingly. |

Ozone Research Managers
The Vienna Convention provides for that parties shall co-operate in conducting research and systematic
observations and in formulating recommendations for future research and observation in areas related to the ozone layer.
To this end the Ozone Research Managers meet every three years to review national and international research and monitoring
activities to ensure coordination and identify gaps.
