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 will be held from 20-24 July 2015 in Paris, France.

The OEWG is expected to consider, inter alia: issues related to exemptions under Article 2 of the Protocol, including nominations for essential-use exemptions for 2016 and nominations for critical-use exemptions for 2016 and 2017; the 2014 quadrennial assessment reports of the Scientific Assessment Panel, the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel and the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP); the 2015 TEAP progress report; and issues related to ozone-depleting substances.

Parties will also hear on issues related to the phase-out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and measures to facilitate the monitoring of trade in HCFCs and substituting substances. They will also take up the outcome of the intersessional informal discussions on the feasibility and ways of managing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and the proposed amendments to the Protocol.
