UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/6
23 November 1993

ORIGINAL: ENGLISH

1. The third meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was held at the United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok, on 23 November 1993.

2. The meeting was opened by Mr. Jean-Baptiste Kambou (Burkina Faso), President of the Conference at its second meeting, at 10 a.m. on 23 November 1993.

3. In his opening remarks, the President of the Conference of the Parties at its second meeting, made a statement in which he thanked the Government of Thailand for hosting the meeting of the Conference and expressed his gratitude to all participants for the support extended to himself and the other members of the Bureau since the second meeting. Many important developments had taken place since that meeting, including the ratification of the Convention by 43 more countries, which reflected growing world-wide concerns about the ozone layer. While it was encouraging that more than two thirds of the Parties to the Convention were developing countries, the lack of financial and technical resources was a major handicap to their active involvement in ozone research programmes and monitoring. The demand for financial and technical support would increase as more developing countries became Parties. The Parties to the Convention should demonstrate the same spirit of cooperation as the Parties to the Montreal Protocol had done in setting up the Multilateral Fund. The Bureau had held two meetings since the second meeting of the Conference, the first to review progress in the implementation of the decisions of the Conference and the conclusions and recommendations of the second meeting of the Ozone Research Managers and the second to review the documentation for the current meeting. Noting that one of the recommendations of the Ozone Research Managers was to appeal for financial support to address the current lack of ozone monitoring stations in the tropics by setting up about 12-15 such stations in the developing countries of South America, Africa and Asia, he urged developed countries and financial institutions like the Global Environment Facility for ozone research programmes and for setting up ozone monitoring stations in areas of need.

4. At the opening session, Mr. Amnuay Viravan, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, delivered a statement in which he said that Thailand was proud to be the venue of the third meeting of the Parties to the Vienna Convention. He recalled that the Convention was the first legal instrument designed to protect the ozone layer and that it was the tool for setting out policies and strategies. It had become a model for the solution of global environmental problems and had achieved much during its short lifetime. There was, however, no room for complacency. New threats to the ozone layer were possible and, therefore, a pressing need existed for continued global research including the establishment of more ozone observation stations in developing countries. He said that adequate funds should be allocated to facilitate such activities. In conclusion, he expressed the hope that the ozone meetings in Bangkok would lead to major international cooperation which would benefit the environment and mankind.

5. Also at the opening session, Mr. K.M. Sarma, Coordinator of the Ozone Secretariat, delivered a statement on behalf of the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Having thanked the Government of Thailand for their excellent arrangements in hosting the third meeting, he noted that there were now more contracting Parties to the Vienna Convention than any other international convention, evidence of the unanimity of belief in the importance of protecting the ozone layer. He recalled that the Fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol held the previous week at Bangkok had decided that there should be no essential-use exemptions for the production of halons by non-Article 5 Parties in 1994 and approved a three-year budget of US$ 510 million for the Multilateral Fund to assist developing countries eliminate ozone-depleting substances and expressed hope that the third meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention would be similarly successful. Recalling that the second meeting of the Ozone Research Managers had been held earlier in the year in Geneva, he said that its report and recommendations were before the Conference and should be considered by the Parties when making their decisions. Highlighting the importance of global research efforts, he called on the Parties to make contributions to the WMO Special Fund for Environment Monitoring for the Global Ozone Observing System in order to expand the station network in developing countries. In regard to funding, he appealed to the Parties to pay their contributions promptly to the Vienna Convention Trust Fund.

6. The representative of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that WMO continued to work towards the improvement of the Global Ozone Observing System, which had provided the scientific community with reliable data for the assessment on the state of the ozone layer. WMO would continue to assist in preparing the second assessment by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, which was due in the autumn of 1994. It was regrettable that there were still gaps in the global observing network, particularly in the tropical belt, but there was a draft decision before the Conference of the Parties which should help to improve the situation. It would be useful, moreover, if the Conference were to give further consideration to ways and means of resolving that problem and, perhaps, urge the Parties to provide the necessary funds by joint or individual action. The latest scientific data constituted a stark reminder that there was no room for complacency, and WMO would continue to collaborate with the Parties to and Secretariat of the Vienna Convention in the international endeavour to ensure the recovery of the ozone layer.

7. The following Parties to the Vienna Convention were represented: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, European Community, Fiji, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russian Federation, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United Republic of Tanzania, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

8. The following States not party to the Convention were also represented: Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Morocco, Myanmar, Nepal and Viet Nam.

9. Observers from the following United Nations bodies and specialized agencies were also present: Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

10. The following other organizations were also represented: Causa Verde, Institute of Environment Education and Touche Ross.

   (e) Strengthening of the Global Ozone Observing System.

4. Financial report for 1992 and the proposed budgets for 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 for the Vienna Convention Trust Fund.

5. Date and venue of the fourth meeting of the Conference of the Parties.

6. Other matters.

7. Adoption of the report.

8. Closure of the meeting.

13. The Bureau of the Conference of the Parties at its third meeting approved the credentials of the representatives of 56 Parties to the third meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention. The Bureau also approved provisionally the representation of 25 Parties on the understanding that they would send the credentials to the Secretariat in due course.

14. The representative of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), introducing the report he had submitted on WMO activities since the second meeting of the Conference of the Parties (UNEP/Ozl.Conv.3/Inf.1), commented upon it in detail, with the help of a slide presentation, and supplemented it by some more recent data.

15. The representative of Canada reported on recent work linking mid-latitude long-term ozone depletion to enhancement of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation, referring to the 11 November 1993 issue of Science, where a fuller account was available, measurements of ozone and the daily totals of spectrally resolved ultraviolet (UV) radiation from 1988 to 1993 at Toronto, Canada, had been analysed. It had been shown that ozone decreases had definitely caused increases in ground-level UV-B during the period in question and that the ozone-based changes could be distinguished from changes caused by clouds and air pollution. Previous studies had either been inconclusive or restricted to clear-sky data. The new finding strengthened what had been considered the weakest link in the chain between ozone-depleting substances and potential environment damage - the fundamental basis of the Montreal Protocol.

16. All representatives who spoke expressed their gratitude to the Government and people of Thailand for their hospitality. Most of them expressed their concern at the gravity of the threat to the ozone layer, the representative of a country part of whose territory was located within the fringes of the Antartic ozone hole being particularly eloquent in that regard.

17. Several representatives gave accounts of the progress made by their countries in ratifying the Montreal Protocol and the London and Copenhagen Amendments. Others reported on measures adopted in their countries to remedy the depletion of the ozone layer or to assist the monitoring process.

18. One of those representatives mentioned that his country was about to establish a monitoring station that would fill a gap in the global observing network, while another reported that a strategically situated station was to be upgraded. A number of representatives said that their Governments were interested in establishing monitoring stations, but would require financial assistance for the purpose, several of them referring in that connection to paragraph 3 of draft decision III/5 submitted by the Preparatory Meeting (see UNEP/OzL.Conv.5/Prep/2, annex). Another representative said that his delegation, which strongly supported the draft decision in question, would pursue the matter in the context of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

19. One representative commented that the Global Ozone Observing System should be developed with due regard for the needs of climate-change observations.

20. Several representatives urged increased cooperation between developed and developing countries in achieving the aims of the Convention. One of them specifically mentioned capacity-building in the developing countries for scientific research on the ozone layer, while another suggested the possibility of collaboration in field trials on the effects of UV-B radiation on newly developed crops and materials.

21. Under agenda items 3, 4 and 5, the Conference had before it the report of the Executive Director (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/2), the financial reports on the Trust Fund for the Vienna Convention for the first year of the biennium 1992-1993 (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/3), the approved 1993 and proposed 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 budgets for the Ozone Secretariat (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/4), a note by the Secretariat on the rules of procedure concerning the credentials of representatives (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/5), and the report of the Preparatory Meeting along with its annex containing the draft decisions (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/Prep/2), prepared on the basis of draft decisions earlier circulated by the Secretariat (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/L.1 and Add.1). It also had before it, for information, a report submitted by the representative of the World Meteorological Organization on WMO activities since the second meeting of the Conference of the Parties (UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/Inf.1).

22. The Conference adopted a number of decisions on the basis of the draft decisions submitted by the Preparatory Meeting and the approved 1993 and proposed 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 budgets and the scale of contributions for the Vienna Convention Trust Fund which were prepared by a small working group and circulated in the course of the meeting as document UNEP/OzL.Conv.3/L.2. All the decisions, the text of which appears in paragraph 23 below, were adopted by consensus, with the comments and amendments reflected in paragraphs 24 to 35 below.

23. The Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer decided at its third meeting:

29. In response to a question regarding the criteria to be used in selecting which developing countries would receive financial support to attend future meetings, the Secretariat explained that when meetings were held backtoback, priority was given to supporting members of the Bureau and the Implementation Committee. If the Executive Committee was also meeting immediately prior or subsequent to the meetings in question, its members would also receive support. Remaining funds, or in the absence of other meetings, all funds, were distributed in keeping with the principle of geographical balance with an emphasis placed on supporting Parties that had recently ratified the Convention.

Fourth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for Protection of the Ozone Layer (decision III/7)

30. The President orally corrected the language of draft decision III/7, paragraph 2, as submitted by the Preparatory Meeting, to reflect that Austria would host a celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Vienna Convention. With this amendment, draft decision III/7 was adopted.

31. The representative of Israel proposed that the Parties consider an amendment to Article 3 of the Vienna Convention in the form of the following additional paragraph to Article 3: "(h) The ultra-violet range of the solar flux reaching the Earth's surface, and changes therein, deriving from any modification in the ozone layer." The same representative also proposed that the Parties consider an amendment to Annex I of the Vienna Convention in the form of the addition of the following section to paragraph 4(d) of Annex I: "(ii) Partially halogenated alkanes, e.g. HBr, CH₃Br."

32. In response, the Secretariat explained that any amendment to the Convention had to be proposed in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 9 of the Convention.

33.
