A] CURRENT CONTROLS ON HCFCs
Article 2 Countries: In Copenhagen, for Article 2 countries, the Parties agreed to a (i) a freeze in 1996 based on 3.1% cap., (ii) 35% cut in 2004, (iii) 65% in 2010, (iv) 90% in 2015, (v) 99.5% in 2020 and (vi) phase out in 2030.

The Vienna agreements call for (i) same interim cuts; (ii) phase out in 2020; (iii) 2.8% cap and (iv) 0.5% "service tail" until 2030. Since, Copenhagen represented a 99.5% cut in 2020, with a phase out in 2030, and Vienna is a phase out in 2020 with a 0.5% exemption until 2030, and considering that 2.8% cap is maximum OECD will use in practice anyway, the agreements in Vienna mean zero improvements for ozone layer protection since 1992.

Article 5 Countries: Article 5 (industrializing countries) will initiate a freeze as of 2016, based on consumption levels of 2015, and will phase out as of 2040. TEAP is to prepare a study on the impacts of this phase out schedule by the year 2000.

[B] CURRENT CONTROLS ON METHYL BROMIDE
Article 2 Countries: The Parties to the Montreal Protocol agreed in Copenhagen (1992) to freeze methyl bromide consumption in Article 2 countries in 1995 at 1991 levels. At the time no controls were placed on consumption in Article 5 countries, but there was a legal decision to review on control measures in Vienna.

In Vienna, the Parties agreed to incremental phase out in Article 2 countries, at 25% reduction by 2001, 50% cut by 2005, and 100% phase out by 2010, with exemptions for quarantine and pre-shipment, and further critical exemptions to be advised by TEAP.

Article 5 Countries: For Article 5 countries a consumption freeze in 2002 was agreed upon, with a baseline set at the average of 1995-98 levels. Presently, there is no phase out for developing countries, and there is an agreement to review controls in 1997. The late freeze and baseline based on future years gives an incentive for the methyl bromide industry to heavily expand use and dependency on methyl bromide in the next few years.
