Resumen

This Proclamation provides with respect to a system for licensing the import and export of controlled substances as required by the Montreal Protocol, to which Ethiopia is a party. Controlled substances are listed in the Annexes to the Protocol. The importation of any ozone-depleting substance is prohibited after the laps of the phase-out date stated in the schedule attached to this Proclamation. The Environmental Protection Authority may waive the prohibition where a reliable evidence is submitted to prove that the transaction has been initiated prior to the coming into force of this Proclamation or the substance is needed to run, repair or service an appliance that has not yet outlived its useful life. Without having authorization from the Authority, no person may establish, run or expand an enterprise with operations likely to increase the consumption of ozone depleting substances. The Proclamation furthermore specifies powers and duties of the Authority and requires federal or regional government organ empowered by law to issue business license or to control imports ("licensing authorities) to 'refuse, grant, renew, suspend or cancel trade licenses in tandem with the decision of the Authority to refuse, grant, renew, suspend or cancel authorization'.
