Data reporting

The success of multilateral environmental agreements – including the Montreal Protocol – is based on Parties reporting data accurately and on time.

Reliable and timely data from all Parties on the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances permit decision-makers at the national and international levels to formulate appropriate control measures, devise realistic phase-out strategies, and provide the necessary financial and technical assistance required by developing countries.

Data reporting is also crucial for all Parties, not only for fulfilling their external obligations under the Protocol, but also internally for verifying their position vis-à-vis their national strategies to phase out ozone depleting substances. It should therefore be viewed as a useful tool, not simply as a requirement.
