Trends Analysis: By means of the consumption and production data officially reported by their governments, countries must demonstrate that they fully meet the specific legal obligations (control measures) of the Protocol as per the agreed timetables. Countries must permanently reduce their dependency on ozone depleting substances (ODS) in a step-wise manner and ultimately end it altogether. During the compliance phase, the phase-out process is country-driven
both in terms of responsibilities and needs. This means government
commitment and ownership in the process is crucial for success.
Nevertheless, as the implementation of the Montreal Protocol is
not performed in isolation, partnership and co-operation continues
to be essential in this period. The Multilateral Fund and its Implementing
Agencies, bilateral agencies, NGOs and other countries continue
to help countries identify and overcome compliance challenges. A
clear understanding of where a country stands in relation to its
compliance targets is essential for this work to go forward. This
Trends Analysis provides such information. Contents The source data for the analysis is the consumption and production
data for CFCs, HCFCs, Halons and Methyl Bromide reported under Article
7of the Montreal Protocol. Contents of each
country report
Note that for HCFCs, since Article 5 countries have not yet established
their baselines, no freeze level can be shown. Only their consumption
and production trends are indicated. In the future, the freeze level
and subsequent reduction levels will be added. This web version of the Trends Analysis is updated once a year, following the schedule of the data reports related to compliance that are produced by the Ozone Secretariat. Comments, questions

Compliance
with the approaching 2010 targets for the phase out of the consumption
and production of CFCs and halons is the major challenge facing
countries that operate under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol.
At the same time, developing countries must also prepare themselves
to comply with the accelerated HCFC phase-out schedule, recently
decided by the Parties on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of
the Montreal Protocol, beginning with a freeze in production and
consumption by 2013. Shortly thereafter, in 2015, comes the deadline
for the complete phase-out of methyl bromide. Decision makers in
developing countries need information that easily conveys where
their countries stand in relation to these targets. This Trends
Analysis service is designed to provide such a visual tool.
