Decision XXXVII/8: Data and information provided by the parties in accordance with Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer

The Thirty-Seventh Meeting of the Parties decides:

1. To note that 194 parties of the 198 parties that should have reported data for 2024 had done so by 31 October 2025, that 123 parties had done so through the online reporting system, and that 170 parties had reported their data by 30 September 2025 as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer;
2. To note with appreciation that 74 of the reporting parties had submitted their data for 2024 by 30 June 2025, in accordance with the encouragement in decision XV/15, and that reporting by 30 June each year greatly facilitates the work of the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol in assisting parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Protocol to comply with the control measures under the Protocol;
3. To note with concern that four parties, namely Armenia, the Comoros, Iceland and Sao Tome and Principe, had not reported their data for 2024 by 31 October 2025, and that this places them in non-compliance with their data reporting obligations under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol until such time as the Ozone Secretariat receives their outstanding data;
4. To note that a lack of timely data reporting by parties impedes the effective monitoring and assessment of parties’ compliance with their obligations under the Montreal Protocol;
5. To urge the parties listed in paragraph 3 above that have not yet done so to report the required data to the Ozone Secretariat as soon as possible;
6. To request the Implementation Committee under the Non-Compliance Procedure for the Montreal Protocol to review the situation of those parties at its seventy-sixth meeting;
7. To encourage parties to continue to report consumption and production data as soon as the figures are available, and preferably by 30 June each year, as encouraged in decision XV/15 and subsequent decisions on the matter.
