______________________________________________________________________________

PART I - PRELIMINARY

1 	Short title 

This Act may be cited as the Ozone Layer Protection Act. 

2 	Interpretation 

(1) 	In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires — 

"aerosol spray" and "aerosol" means any substance packed under pressure in a container with a device for releasing it directly into the atmosphere as a foam or fine spray, or a liquid or solid stream; 

"bulk", in relation to any controlled substance, — 

(a) 	means any controlled substance that is acquired in a non-processed form, whether alone or in a mixture; and 

(b) 	includes any controlled substance that is acquired in a non-processed form, whether alone or in a mixture, that has been recovered, cleaned (by filtering or drying) or reclaimed (by filtering, drying, distillation or chemical treatment); but 

(c) 	excludes any controlled substance that is in a manufactured product; 

"controlled substance" means any substance specified in the Schedule; 

"Convention" means the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (Adopted at Vienna on 22 March 1985); 

"Director" means the Director of Environment; 

"export" and "exportation" means to take or cause to be taken out of Tuvalu; 

"import" and "importation" means to bring or cause to be brought into Tuvalu; 

"Minister" means the Minister responsible for this Act; 

"Montreal Protocol" means the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Adopted at Montreal on 16 September 1987); 

"non-complying country" means any country that is not a party to the Montreal Protocol; 

"Officer" means an Environment Officer, any police officer and any customs officer appointed under the Customs Act; 

"plastic foam" means any plastics in cellular mass which are formed with the use of any gas or volatile liquid introduced into liquid plastic to make bubbles; 

"sale" means every method of disposition for valuable consideration (including barter), and includes — 

(a) 	the disposition to an agent for sale on consignment; 

(b) 	offering for sale or attempting to sell, or receiving or having in possession for sale, or exposing for sale, or sending or delivering for sale, or causing or permitting any of these things to be done; 

(c) 	disposal by way of lottery, raffle or game of chance — and 

"sell" and "sold" shall have corresponding meanings. 

"solvent" means any aqueous or organic product designed to clean a component or assembly by dissolving the contaminants present on its surface. 

(2) 	Words used in this Act shall have the same meaning as is given to them in the Montreal Protocol, unless a contrary intention appears. 

3 	Objects and application of the precautionary principle 

(1) 	The objects of this Act are to — 

(a) 	protect human health and the environment from adverse effects resulting or likely to result from human activities which modify or are likely to modify the ozone layer; 

(b) 	phase out ozone depleting substances as soon as possible except for essential uses; and 

(c) 	give effect to the Tuvalu's obligations under the Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. 

(2) 	All persons and agencies having responsibilities under this Act, or whose functions and powers may relate to any matter or thing involving the use, manufacture, sale, handling, storage or movement of ozone depleting substances within Tuvalu, shall apply the precautionary principle when discharging their responsibilities and functions, or exercising their powers. 

(3) 	For the purposes of this section, the precautionary principle is applied if, in the event of a threat of damage to the environment or a risk to human health in Tuvalu, a lack of scientific certainty regarding the extent of adverse effects is not used to prevent or avoid a decision being made to minimise the potential adverse effects or risks from the importation, use, storage, handling or movement of ozone depleting substances within Tuvalu.

PART VIII - METHYL BROMIDE

Chemical Formula 	Substance	Ozone-Depleting Potential 	
CH3Br 	(Mono) bromomethane 	0.6	

* Notes

Ozone depleting potential is determined in accordance with the relevant Annexes to the Montreal Protocol Where a range of ODPs is indicated, the highest value in that range shall be used for the purposes of the Protocol. The ODPs listed as a single value have been determined from calculations based on laboratory measurements. Those listed as a range are based on estimates and are less certain. The range pertains to an isomeric group. The upper value is the estimate of the ODP of the isomer with the highest ODP, and the lower value is the estimate of the ODP of the isomer with the lowest ODP.
