Decision XXX/11: Timeline for reporting of baseline data for hydrofluorocarbons by parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol

Noting that it is preferable for parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol that ratify the Kigali Amendment before the end of their respective applicable baseline years to provide actual baseline data for the controlled substances in Annex F (hydrofluorocarbons) when those data become available,

Recognizing that hydrofluorocarbons data will be reported annually, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol as amended by the Kigali Amendment, not later than nine months after the end of each year,

Recognizing also that by decision XV/15 parties were encouraged to forward data on production and consumption to the Secretariat as soon as the data are available, and preferably by 30 June of each year,

In order to allow parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 to report actual baseline data for hydrofluorocarbons, to request the Implementation Committee and the Meeting of the Parties to defer, for each year of the applicable baseline period, consideration of the status of the reporting of hydrofluorocarbon baseline data under paragraph 2 of Article 7 until nine months after the end of each baseline year as applicable to the group of parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 in question;
