European Union flag

The figure shows the EU and global consumption of ozone-depleting substances, which is a metric calculated based on the balance between imports, exports, production and destruction.

The calculation of consumption of substances controlled under the Montreal Protocol (in both metric and ODP tonnes) excludes non-virgin imports and exports, substances intended for feedstock and process agent use. It also includes substances listed in Annex II of the EU Ozone Regulation (not controlled under the Montreal Protocol).
