           Also to instruct the Ozone Secretariat to use the global-warming-potential values of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b for HCFC-141 and HCFC-142, respectively, when calculating the hydrofluorocarbon baselines of parties with past consumption or production of HCFC-141 and HCFC-142 in their respective baseline years;
          			Decision XXX/11: Timeline for reporting of baseline data for hydrofluorocarbons by parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol
          Noting that it is preferable for parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol that ratify the Kigali Amendment before the end of their respective applicable baseline years to provide actual baseline data for the controlled substances in Annex F (hydrofluorocarbons) when those data become available,
          Recognizing that hydrofluorocarbons data will be reported annually, pursuant to paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol as amended by the Kigali Amendment, not later than nine months after the end of each year,
          Recognizing also that by decision XV/15 parties were encouraged to forward data on production and consumption to the Secretariat as soon as the data are available, and preferably by 30 June of each year,
          In order to allow parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 to report actual baseline data for hydrofluorocarbons, to request the Implementation Committee and the meeting of the parties to defer, for each year of the applicable baseline period, consideration of the status of the reporting of hydrofluorocarbon baseline data under paragraph 2 of Article 7 until nine months after the end of each baseline year as applicable to the group of parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 in question;
          Decision XXX/12: Reporting information on destination countries for exports and source countries for imports of ozone-depleting substances
          Recalling decisions XVII/16 and XXIV/12, which refer to the submission of data on destinations of exports and sources of imports of controlled substances by importing parties and exporting parties, respectively, to the Ozone Secretariat in their annual reports in accordance with Article 7,
          Noting with appreciation that a majority of parties exporting controlled substances regularly provide information on the countries of destination for their exports, in response to decision XVII/16,
          Noting also with appreciation that a number of parties importing controlled substances regularly provide information on the source countries of their imports, in response to decision XXIV/12,
          Recognizing that such information facilitates the exchange of information and the identification of differences between data reported on imports and data reported on exports, which in turn may facilitate the identification of possible cases of illegal trade,
          Noting, however, that a large number of importing parties and a small number of exporting parties do not provide that information,
          1.	To urge parties exporting controlled substances to report to the Secretariat information on the destinations of their exports, as called for in decision XVII/16;
          2.	To encourage parties importing controlled substances to report to the Secretariat information on the sources of their imports, as set out in decision XXIV/12;
          		Decision XXX/13: Data and information provided by the parties in accordance with Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol
          1.	To note that 195 parties of the 197 parties that should have reported data for 2017 have done so, and that 190 of those parties had reported their data by 30 September 2018 as required under paragraph 3 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;
          2.	To note with appreciation that 133 of those parties had reported their data by 30 June 2018, in accordance with the encouragement in decision XV/15, and that reporting by 30 June each year greatly facilitates the work of the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol in assisting parties operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Protocol to comply with the Protocol's control measures;
          3.	To note that a lack of timely data reporting by parties impedes the effective monitoring and assessment of parties' compliance with their obligations under the Montreal Protocol;
          4.	To note with concern that two parties, namely the Central African Republic and Yemen, have not reported their 2017 data as required under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, and that this places them in non-compliance with their data reporting obligations under the Montreal Protocol until such time as the Secretariat receives their outstanding data;
          5.	To urge the Central African Republic and Yemen to report the required data to the Secretariat as quickly as possible;
          6.	To request the Implementation Committee to review the situation of those parties at its sixty-second meeting;
          7.	To encourage parties to continue to report consumption and production data as soon as figures are available, and preferably by 30 June each year, as agreed in decision XV/15;
          		Decision XXX/14: Reporting of zero in Article 7 data reporting forms
          Recalling paragraph 3 of decision XXIX/18, whereby the parties were urged, when submitting forms for reporting data in accordance with Article 7, to ensure that all cells in the forms are completed with a number, including zero where appropriate, rather than being left blank,
          Recalling also that, by decision XXIX/18, the Implementation Committee under the Non-Compliance Procedure for the Montreal Protocol was requested to review the status of compliance by the parties with paragraph 3 of that decision at its sixty-first meeting,

Appendix I
          Data reporting instructions and guidelines
          		Section 1: Introduction
          1.1	The attached data forms have been designed to make reporting easier for the parties. The reporting is prescribed by Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol and further described in various decisions of the meeting of the parties. Some decisions introduce additional items that parties may report voluntarily.
          1.2	The data reported in accordance with the data forms will be used to determine the calculated levels of production and consumption, upon which the control measures are based.
          1.3	The major features of the forms are as follows:
          (a)	Six separate data forms are provided for imports, exports, production, destruction, trade with non-parties and emissions of controlled substances. Please use only those data forms applicable to your country and ignore the other forms, after ticking off the respective "No" box in the questionnaire. For example, many parties only import and do not export, produce, destroy or trade with non-parties in any of the substances. If this is the case, please use only data form 1 on imports and ignore the other forms, after ticking off the "No" boxes for questions 1.2  -  1.6 on the questionnaire.
          (b)	A row has been provided in data forms 1 (imports) and 3 (production) for each of the substances in Annex A, Annex B Groups II and III, Annex E and Annex F. However, for categories of "Other CFCs" (Annex B Group I) and HCFCs (Annex C Group I), the form is made shorter by providing rows only for substances commonly reported by parties in the past. A few blank rows are provided for more substances, if needed. HBFCs and BCM (Annex C Groups II and III) were phased out by all parties immediately upon inclusion in the list of controlled substance; hence, one row has been provided for them as a formality only. You may use the computerized forms supplied by the Secretariat or paper forms. Parties who use the computerized forms can easily add more rows as needed; parties using paper forms are free to add pages as required.
          (c)	The following are some of the different categories of uses of controlled substances that need to be reported:
                 Feedstock uses for all substances
                 Essential uses, including laboratory and analytical uses, for substances as approved by the meeting of the parties from time to time
                 Quarantine and pre-shipment applications for methyl bromide
                 Process agent uses for specific applications as approved in table A of decision X/14 and updated periodically by the meeting of the parties
                 Critical or emergency uses of methyl bromide as approved from time to time
                 Exemption for high-ambient-temperature parties
          	It is necessary for each party to specify how much of its production, export or import is used for these categories. Where applicable, the Secretariat will deduct these quantities from the total figures. Provision is made in the data forms for these categories. For exempted essential, critical, high-ambient-temperature or other uses, provision has also been made for parties to specify the decision of the meeting of the parties that approved the use.
          (d)	The same forms can be used for reporting for baseline years and other years. It should be noted that paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol both provide that the parties may submit the best possible estimates of data for the base years if actual data are not available.
          (e)	The basis for reporting requirements and definitions are given in sections 2 and 4 below respectively.
