Decision 52/19

Following the discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To request China to re-examine the carbon tetrachloride (CTC) production and consumption data between 1998 and 2000 so as to reconstitute them as closely as possible and to submit the data for 1999 and 2000 with a clear breakdown as requested by the Ozone Secretariat for calculating the baseline data. That should be done with the following understanding in accordance with decision X/14 of the Tenth Meeting of the Parties:
   1. That as long as China achieved the emission reduction targets laid out in the agreements with the Executive Committee for Phase I and Phase II of the process agent sector plan, the CTC production and consumption associated with the process agent application in those agreements would not be included in the CTC production and consumption for the determination of the compliance status of China from 2002 with respect to those CTC applications covered by Phase I, and from 2005 with respect to those applications covered by Phase II onwards;
   2. That since the CTC production and consumption covered in the two agreements of the sector plan should not be included in the calculation of production and consumption for the determination of compliance, any change in the baseline data did not call for a change to the agreements; and
2. To communicate the present decision to the Meeting of the Parties in the annual report of the Executive Committee, through the Ozone Secretariat.
