For example, alternative non-ozone-depleting substances are now being used in place of chlorodifluoromethane (R-22) which accounts for 98.3% of the local consumption of refrigerants.

There are also others where difficulties in getting the alternative chemicals registered are hampering their commercial adoption (for example, the slow and difficult registration process in Egypt with 1,3-Dichloropropene + chloropicrin (1,3-D Pic) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS), two alternative fumigants found to be efficient).

For example, the DRE for chemicals such as methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, trichlorobenzene, trichloroethane and PCBs has typically been measured at 99.995 per cent and better.

The verification of imports of the ODS covered by the Agreement for 2005 showed that the actual consumption of these chemicals in Thailand was as follows: 1,193 ODP tonnes of CFCs, and zero for TCA and CTC.

Blanket approval of this request is recommended at the level of funding indicated in Table 1, with the proviso that in developing and subsequently implementing the TPMP, UNEP be requested to take into account decision 47/10(e) regarding the inclusion in licensing systems of import controls for methyl bromide, CTC and/or TCA, as well as CFCs.

The Government of Thailand and the World Bank continued to make commendable efforts in 2006 to enforce policy measures to facilitate the implementation of the national phase-out plan, especially with regard to the banning of CFC and TCA in the manufacturing sectors, and the mandatory inspection of the MAC system in annual vehicle inspection.

The available reports on cement kilns provides data about performance with regard to the following specific compounds: trichloromethane (chloroform); dichloromethane (methylene chloride); carbon tetrachloride; 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,1,1-trichloroethane; trichloroethylene; tetrachloroethylene; 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluorethane (Freon 113); chlorobenzene; benzene; xylene; toluene; 1,3,5trimethylbenzene; methyl ethyl ketone; methyl isobutyl ketone; carbon hexafluorine; phenoxy acids; chlorinated hydrocarbons; chlorinated aliphatics; chlorinated aromatics; PCBs; and POPs pesticides.

The above measures were adopted by the Executive Committee with the specific objective of providing the support necessary for Article 5 countries to meet all the control measures for each ODS up to and including 2010, in particular to complete phase-out of CFCs, halons and CTC, achieve a 70 per cent reduction in the consumption of methyl chloroform (1.1.1 TCA) and a 20 per cent reduction in the non-QPS consumption of methyl bromide.

With regard to additional funding requests for HCFC phase-out outside approved HPMPs, the representative of the Secretariat explained the situation of some countries with all HCFC consumption reported under Article 7 solely in the refrigeration servicing sector, and with foam enterprises relying exclusively on imported HCFC-141b pre-blended polyol not reported as consumption.
