Meeting
Recalling decisions XVII/16 and XXIV/12, which refer to the submission of data on destinations of exports and sources of imports of controlled substances by importing parties and exporting parties, respectively, to the Ozone Secretariat in their annual reports in accordance with Article 7,
Noting with appreciation that a majority of parties exporting controlled substances regularly provide information on the countries of destination for their exports, in response to decision XVII/16,
Noting also with appreciation that a number of parties importing controlled substances regularly provide information on the source countries of their imports, in response to decision XXIV/12,
Recognizing that such information facilitates the exchange of information and the identification of differences between data reported on imports and data reported on exports, which in turn may facilitate the identification of possible cases of illegal trade,
Noting, however, that a large number of importing parties and a small number of exporting parties do not provide that information,
1.To urge parties exporting controlled substances to report to the Secretariat information on the destinations of their exports, as called for in decision XVII/16;
