Resumen

This Act gives effect to the obligations of the Kingdom of Tonga under the Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. It aims at phasing out ozone depleting substances as soon as possible except for essential uses and protecting human health and the environment from adverse effects resulting or likely to result from human activities which modify or are likely to modify the ozone layer. In order to achieve these objectives, the Act, among other things: places restrictions on the importation, exportation, manufacture and sale of substances that are declared controlled substances for purposes of this Act; provides for the permitting of Approved Importers and Approved Workshop (required in relation to use, manufacture, sale, handling, storage or movement of ozone depleting substances); and prohibits the manufacture of controlled and other substances in Tonga. The Minister shall establish a National Ozone Advisory Committee to carry out functions under this Act.
