With regard to the review of current monitoring, reporting, verification and enforcement systems in accordance with HPMP and HPPMP agreements and the desk study on the current system of monitoring consumption of foam blowing agents at enterprises assisted under stage I of the HPMP and verification methodology, the Executive Committee welcomed the regulatory and enforcement actions to be undertaken by the Government of China (i.e., increase and extension of penalties for enterprises’ non‑compliance with the controlled‑substance regulations, intensification of inspections of enterprises currently or formerly using controlled substances, implementation of controlled-substance inspection plans for ecology and environment bureaux (EEBs), increased provision of support and enforcement tools to EEBs, development of an online registration and tracking system for controlled substance users, increased training for customs officers, conduct of an annual mass balance analysis of foam blowing components to determine the market size of the foam sector, and publicizing of the outcome of investigations and increased communication with industry). The Executive Committee noted with appreciation that the Government of China will undertake additional actions in support of its enforcement actions (i.e., establishment of a national controlled atmospheric monitoring network for controlled substances and of an additional six testing laboratories for controlled substances in products and real-time flow monitoring of CTC at chloromethane production enterprises). It also noted with appreciation that the Government of China will consider suggestions to supplement and augment its regulatory and enforcement actions (i.e., fast-track atmospheric monitoring through movement or modification of existing equipment and/or flask sampling, increased direction on enforcement at the provincial level from the national government, development of performance indicators for enforcement activities, such as the number of customs officers trained or inspections undertaken, extension of penalties and prohibitions to consumers of controlled substances or products containing controlled substances, where appropriate, regular and frequent consultations with industry and enterprises to ascertain market conditions, random testing of products that might contain controlled substances, conduct of annual mass balance analysis of refrigeration and air-conditioning market to determine market size and verify reported HCFC consumption, and reporting on the details of enforcement activities, including the capacity of the reactor, amount of controlled substance on site, relevant records on feedstock purchases and sales, any penalties resulting from the enforcement action). The Executive Committee further noted that the Government of China will consider engaging a non-governmental consultant to undertake a study, including quantitative data, where available, and qualitative market information, to determine the regulatory, enforcement, policy or market circumstances that might have led to the illegal production and use of CFC-11 and CFC-12, and that it will report to the Executive Committee, at the 84th meeting and again to the 86th meeting, on its progress in implementing all these activities. The Executive Committee decided to consider at the 84th meeting possible forms of remedy in relation to illegal production and/or consumption of CFC-11 in China after 2008, and continued funding of stage II of the HPMP and stage II of the HPPMP.
The Executive Committee deferred the consideration of the financial audit reports for the CFC production, halon, polyurethane foam, process agent II, refrigeration servicing and solvent sectors in China to the 84th meeting.
With regard to the sector plan for the phase-out of methyl bromide consumption in China, the Executive Committee noted that no consumption of methyl bromide had been reported in China for 2018 except for any critical use exemptions approved by the Parties, and requested the Government of China and UNIDO to include in the verification of the 2018 methyl bromide production the amounts used for methyl bromide consumption and to submit the project completion report no later than the 84th meeting.
On the sector plan for the phase-out of methyl bromide production in China, the Executive Committee noted the progress report on the contract for the development of the management information system and its incorporation in the monitoring and supervision programme to be implemented by the Customs Authority, and the update to the work plan in order to ensure the long-term, sustained monitoring of methyl bromide after completion of the sector plan for the phase-out of methyl bromide production, and requested the Government of China, through UNIDO, to provide, at the 84th meeting, an update on this contract, and to include an update regarding the methyl bromide labelling and traceability system in the annual report on the status of implementation of this sector plan to be submitted at the 84th meeting.
