Publisher's Synopsis
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is one of the most effective multilateral environmental agreements currently in existence. This report examines the development, effectiveness and future of the trade provisions of the ozone regime, concluding that they have contributed significantly to its success in attracting signatories and in limiting ozone depletion. Issues considered include the compatibility of the trade provision and the GATT, trade restrictions and developing countries, and the new problems of non-compliance and illegal trade in CFCs.
