Decision XXXIV/16: Revision of the baseline data for Madagascar
Noting that, in decision XIII/15, the Thirteenth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer decided to advise parties that request changes in reported baseline data for base years to present their requests before the Implementation Committee under the Non-Compliance Procedure for the Montreal Protocol, which in turn would work with the Secretariat of the Montreal Protocol and the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol to confirm the justification for the changes and present them to the Meeting of the Parties for approval,
Noting also that decision XV/19 sets out the methodology for the submission of such requests,
- That Madagascar has presented sufficient information, in accordance with decision XV/19, to justify its request for the revision of its consumption data for hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) for 2009, which are part of the baseline for parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol;
- To approve the request by Madagascar and to revise its consumption data for HCFCs for the baseline year 2009 as indicated in the following table:
