  9. Review of recommendations (2/3) • Untrained technicians are also change agents and proper management can lead to positive results. • Stronger communication and collaboration between NOUs, customs departments, customs brokers and RAC associations to prevent illegal trade. • Parties with no historic consumption of MB were encouraged to maintain zero consumption as they will face challenges in phasing out by 2015. • Countries of the region needed to find innovative ways of undertaking national surveys of existing stockpiles of unwanted ODS. Destruction options outside of the region should be explored as well. Another option explored was the establishment of a collection facility. Both actions require real and current data from each country.

  10. Review of recommendations (3/3 ) • NOUs were encouraged to actively participate and provide substantive inputs into the preparation of the agenda of meetings. This way, UNEP is able to allocate sufficient time to accommodate discussions. • Countries were encouraged to submit their annual QPS Consumption. • Countries were encouraged to complete all cells in the Article 7 data reporting forms. In cases where there has been no consumption, a “zero” must be entered. • Countries were encouraged to request access to the EU’s Electronic Licensing System. To do so, an email requesting access should be sent to the EU Transport and Ozone Unit, to initiate the process. • Countries were encouraged to register and use the iPIC system.
