to be prepared for the 1993 Meeting of the Parties.
Essential uses
7.
The new phase out schedules include provision for continued production of CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride and 1,1,1 trichloroethane for a limited number of "essential" uses after phase out. Details are contained in Decision IV/25 and FCO telno 023 to Anguilla.
Implications for Dependent Territories
8. If you wish to have the UK ratification of the Copenhagen Amendment extended to your territory there will be some cost implications as it will be necessary to introduce enabling legislation to implement it. In addition there may also be costs for industry in finding alternatives for the newly controlled substances and in replacing or modifying equipment to use the alternatives.
They will
9. Countries and territories for which the Copenhagen Amendment is not in force will be treated as non-Parties to the Protocol for the newly controlled substances. fall under the trade controls; for example imports and exports of the newly controlled substances from Parties to countries and territories that have not accepted the Amendment will be prohibited. This will clearly have cost implications for industries in those countries and territories.
Conclusion
10. A detailed summary of the Amendment and adjustments agreed at Copenhagen is attached at Annex A. A copy of the Report of the Fourth Meeting of the Protocol Parties is at Annex B.
11.
I should be grateful if you would let me know by 30 April 1993 whether you would wish to implement the Copenhagen Amendment, and the timescale involved. We will then be able to decide whether to include your territory in UK's ratification of the Amendment or whether to extend UK's ratification to your territory at a later date.
12. I should also be grateful for details of how you propose to implement the adjustments.
