The thirty-sixth meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG 36) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer reconvened on Tuesday, 21 July 2015, in Paris, France.
In the morning, OEWG 36 met in plenary to discuss issues related to the phase-out of HCFCs and measures to facilitate the monitoring of trade in HCFCs and alternative substances. After a brief report from Patrick McInerney (Australia), co-convener in the informal talks on the feasibility and ways of managing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), plenary was suspended to allow for further informal talks.
Plenary reconvened at 4:30 pm and after an update from Rafael Da Soler (Brazil), co-convener of the informal talks, Co-Chair Rachmawaty asked the informal talks to continue on Wednesday. Co-Chair Krajnik then opened discussions on the four proposals for a Montreal Protocol amendment regarding HFCs, with Canada presenting the North American proposal, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) the island states’ proposal, and India and the EU their respective proposals. Delegates then started general discussion of the proposals, including posing questions to proponents, which will resume on Wednesday morning.
In the evening, delegates attended a reception hosted by the Government of France.
