会议
1.To note that 196 parties of the 198 parties that should have reported data for 2019 have done so, and that 176 of those parties had reported their data by 30 September 2020 as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;
2.To note with appreciation that 108 of those parties had reported their data by 30 June 2020, in accordance with the encouragement in decision XV/15, and that reporting by 30 June each year greatly facilitates the work of the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol in assisting parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Protocol to comply with the Protocol’s control measures;
3.To note with concern that two parties, namely San Marino and Yemen, have not reported their 2019 data as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, and that this places them in non-compliance with their data reporting obligations under the Montreal Protocol until such time as the Secretariat receives their outstanding data;
4.Also to note with concern that one party, namely the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, that became a party to the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol in 2019 and is thus required to submit data on Annex F substances (HFCs) for 2019, submitted data for other controlled substances but not for HFCs as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, and that this places it in non-compliance with its data reporting obligations under the Montreal Protocol until such time as the Secretariat receives its outstanding HFC data;
5.To note that a lack of timely data reporting by parties impedes the effective monitoring and assessment of parties’ compliance with their obligations under the Montreal Protocol;
6.To urge the parties listed in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the present decision to report the required data to the Secretariat as soon as possible;
7.To request the Implementation Committee to review the situation of those parties at its sixty-sixth meeting;
