Decision XII/10. Monitoring of international trade and prevention of illegal trade in
ozone-depleting substances, mixtures and products containing
ozone-depleting substances
Recognizing the threat of illegal trade in ozone-depleting substances, mixtures and products containing ozone-depleting substances to the global process of ozone layer protection,
Understanding the importance of control of trade in ozone-depleting substances, mixtures and products containing ozone-depleting substances in all Parties in view of the need for global implementation of the provisions of the Montreal Protocol,
Acknowledging that presently the effective control at national borders of trade in ozone-depleting substances, mixtures and products containing ozone-depleting substances is very difficult due to problems in ozone-depleting substances identification, the complexity of relevant customs codes, the lack of an internationally accepted common labelling system and the lack of specially trained customs officers, and the need to approach most of these problems by concerted action at the international level,
Acknowledging that it is important to understand the status of and take into account ongoing work in this area by other international bodies, and take into consideration previous decisions of the Parties, including decisions IX/22, X/18 and XI/26,
1. To request the Ozone Secretariat, in consultation, as appropriate, with the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel, the United Nations Environment Programme, the discussion group on customs codes for ozone-depleting substances and international trade and customs organizations, to examine the options for studying the following issues and to report on these options at the twenty-first meeting of the Open-ended Working Group for consideration by the Parties in 2001:
(a) Current national legislation on the labelling of ozone-depleting substances, mixtures containing ozone-depleting substances and products containing ozone-depleting substances;
(b) The need for, scope of and cost of implementation of a universal labelling and/or classification system for ozone-depleting substances, mixtures containing ozone-depleting substances and products containing ozone-depleting substances, including the feasibility of the introduction of a producer-specific marker, identifier or identification methodology;
(c) Methods for sharing experience between Parties on issues related to classification, labelling, compliance and incidents of illegal trade;
(d) The differences between products containing ozone-depleting substances and mixtures containing ozone-depleting substances, and the possibility of the creation of a list of categories of products containing ozone-depleting substances with the corresponding Harmonized System/Combined Nomenclature classification;
(e) Possible guidance for customs authorities on how to proceed with the illegally traded ozone-depleting substances seized on the border;
2. To express appreciation for the activities of the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics of the United Nations Environment Programme and to encourage further work with regard to providing information on the above to Article 5 Parties and countries with economies in transition, specifically through customs training at the regional and/or national level.
Decision XII/11. Application by Kyrgyzstan for developing country status under the Montreal Protocol
- To accept the application of Kyrgyzstan to be listed as a developing country for the purposes of the Montreal Protocol, taking into account its difficult economic situation, its classification as a developing country by World Bank and its low per capita consumption of ozone-depleting substances.
Decision XII/12. Request by Slovenia to be removed from the list of developing counties
under the Montreal Protocol
1. To note the request by Slovenia to be removed from the list of developing countries under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol;
2. To approve Slovenia's request and note further that Slovenia shall assume the obligations of a Party not operating under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol.

2. To approve the revised budget of $4,099,385 for 2001, as contained in annex II to the report of the Twelfth Meeting of the Parties, recalling paragraph 5 of decision XI/21 of the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol aimed at ensuring that contributions to be paid by the Parties should amount to $3,004,679 for the year 2001;
3. To take note of the proposed budget of $4,406,276 for 2002, as contained in annex II to the report of the Twelfth Meeting of the Parties, taking into account paragraph 6 of decision XI/21, which calls for the drawdown of $675,000 from the unspent balance for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003;
4. To urge all Parties with outstanding contributions for prior years to make every effort to pay them promptly and fully;

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR THE BUDGET REVISION FOR 2001 AND PROPOSED 2002 BUDGET FOR THE TRUST FUND FOR THE MONTREAL PROTOCOL
General: - All figures are in US dollars (US$).
- Inflation rate is assumed to be five (5) per cent.
Budget line |
Comment |
All posts (professional and support staff) |
The Parties have decided that, in future, establishments and classification of all posts have to be presented to them for consideration and approval before they are presented for processing in the United Nations system. |
1101-1105 |
The classification of posts of the Secretariat of UNEP is governed by the regulations of the United Nations. The meeting of the Parties sanctions the number and type of posts, and make financial provision for posts as classified when they make budget decisions.
1101 to 1104 - Standard professional salary costs applicable to the Nairobi duty station have been used for the 2001 revision and 2002 budget proposal. Unspent commitments normally revert to the Trust Fund. 1102 - The post of Deputy Executive Secretary has been classified to D1 level. Financial provision is provided. |
1106 |
The 3-year Junior Professional Officer (JPO) funding from the Government of the Netherlands for the post of the Programme Officer (Data Systems) which was approved by the Eighth Meeting of the Parties, will end on 12th July 2001.
As the Secretariat continues to require the services of an officer to analyse data on ozone depleting substances, and manage the computer and publication requirements of the Secretariat, this post will be submitted to UNEP for regularisation, i.e. classification of the post and subsequent announcement of the vacancy. Funding for July to December 2001 was already approved by the 11th Meeting of the Parties. Financial provision for 2002 is provided. |
1201 |
Funds under this line can be transferred to line 1100 to create short-term professional posts if necessary. |
1301 to 1307 & 1320 |
An increase of five (5) per cent has been applied to these general service posts for 2001 and 2002. |
1321-1326 |
Necessary funds may be transferred from the conference-servicing budget lines (1321-1326) should such services be required to be rendered either by individual consultancies or corporate contracts. The total cost of organising the meeting should not, however, exceed the amounts agreed in this budget.
The Conference Services Division has increased their costs by 30% effective 2000. This is due to the fact that no increase in costs was applied since 1996. This increase is now being applied to lines 1321 and 1322 for 2001 and 2002 budgets. No increase has been requested for lines 1323 - 1326. Although the above increase was not foreseen when the 2000 budget was approved by the Parties at the 11th Meeting of the Parties, no increase in these lines (1321 - 1326) is being requested for 2000.
The current conference-servicing costs have been based on the following assumptions:
|
1601 |
The Secretariat supports the networking activities of Ozonaction by attending some of the meetings. An increase in funding to cover 1 additional travel each for the Executive Secretary, Deputy Executive Secretary, Senior Scientific Affairs Officer and Senior Legal Officer is requested. Some additional funding has been provided to cover work involving the promotion of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments. |
3301 |
Based on expenditure level in 1999 and expected level in 2000, the 2001 budget is being reduced to cover only 100 travels at an average cost of $4,500 per travel - a reduction of $115,700. Based on Decision XI/17 and considering that the Assessment Panels have to update their reports in 2002, it is assumed that meetings of Assessment Panels will increase in number. Travel budget for 2002 will provide for 125 travels. |
3302 & 3303 |
This item includes assistance to participants. No more than one person's travel costs being covered for each country and using the most appropriate economical fare and the United Nations per diem allowances.
Every year since 1993, funding was requested for some 50 participants from Article 5 countries and countries with economies in transition (CEITs) As the number of Article 5 and CEITs countries has increased from 84 to 149 in 2000 (57%), it is proposed that the level of funding be increased to finance some 70 participants for the Preparatory Meeting and Meeting of Parties for 2001 and 2002. Funding for 60 participants is requested for the Open-ended Ended Working Group.
The average cost of participation from these countries is assumed to be US$5,000 per participant. |
3304 |
The participation costs for the two Bureau meetings are based on four participants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition in each meeting. |
3305 |
The participation costs for the two Implementation Committee meetings are based on six participants from developing countries or countries with economies in transition in each meeting. |
4100, 4300, 5100 |
Five (5) per cent inflation rate has been applied to the expendable equipment, rental of premises and equipment maintenance lines for years 2001 and 2002. |
4200 |
The Secretariat is constantly developing its electronic data processing systems in order to make the documentation of the Protocol and the Convention available electronically to the Parties. This development requires updating of the existing computer equipment, and procurement of necessary peripherals and software licenses. |
5203 |
Publication for awareness of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments. |
5300 |
Line 5301 (communications) has been reduced by $10,000 for 2001 and 2002 respectively as the Secretariat is pursuing the use of electronic mail communication vigorously.
Five (5) per cent inflation rate has been applied to Lines 5302 and 5304. |
