Handbook on data reporting under the Montreal protocol

Abstract

Data on the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances (ODS) are literally the cornerstones that underpin the entire Montreal Protocol process: without reliable and timely data provided by all Parties, decision-makers at the national, regional and international levels could not formulate appropriate control measures, devise realistic phase-out strategies, or provide the necessary financial and technical assistance required by developing countries. The accurate, timely, and comprehensive reporting of data has therefore emerged as one of the key issues facing the Protocol today
