Abstract

Noting that quarantine and pre-shipment applications are currently not controlled under the Montreal Protocol,

Noting also that some Parties may not be reporting data fully on these applications,

Noting further the difficulty of assessing non-compliance with the reporting obligations for quarantine and pre-shipment applications of methyl bromide owing to the current procedure for processing data reported under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol,

To urge Parties that have not reported data on quarantine and pre-shipment applications for previous years to do so expeditiously and to urge all Parties to report such data annually as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;
