## Introductory text

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2333
of 13 December 2017
determining quantitative limits and allocating quotas for substances controlled under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on substances that deplete the ozone layer, for the period 1 January to 31 December 2018
(notified under document C(2017) 8317)
(Only the Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latvian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish texts are authentic)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on substances that deplete the ozone layer, and in particular to Articles 10(2) and 16(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The release for free circulation in the Union of imported controlled substances is subject to quantitative limits.
(2)
The Commission is required to determine those limits and allocate quotas to undertakings.
(3)
Furthermore, the Commission is required to determine the quantities of controlled substances other than hydrochlorofluorocarbons that may be used for essential laboratory and analytical uses, and the companies that may use them.
(4)
The determination of the allocated quotas for essential laboratory and analytical uses has to ensure that the quantitative limits set out in Article 10(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 are respected, applying Commission Regulation (EU) No 537/2011. As those quantitative limits include quantities of hydrochlorofluorocarbons licensed for laboratory and analytical uses, the production and import of hydrochlorofluorocarbons for those uses should also be covered by that allocation.
(5)
The Commission has published a notice to undertakings intending to import or export controlled substances that deplete the ozone layer to or from the European Union in 2018 and to undertakings intending to produce or import these substances for laboratory and analytical uses in 2018, and has thereby received declarations on intended imports in 2018.
(6)
The quantitative limits and quotas should be determined for the period 1 January to 31 December 2018, in line with the annual reporting cycle under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

## 1 Quantitative limits for release for free circulation

324 024,0

## 2 Allocation of quotas for release for free circulation

6. The allocation of quotas for hydrobromofluorocarbons during the period 1 January to 31 December 2018 shall be for the purposes and to the undertakings indicated in Annex VI.
7. The allocation of quotas for hydrochlorofluorocarbons during the period 1 January to 31 December 2018 shall be for the purposes and to the undertakings indicated in Annex VII.
8. The allocation of quotas for bromochloromethane during the period 1 January to 31 December 2018 shall be for the purposes and to the undertakings indicated in Annex VIII.
9. The individual quotas for undertakings shall be as set out in Annex IX.

## 3 Quotas for laboratory and analytical uses

The quotas for importing and producing controlled substances for laboratory and analytical uses in the year 2018 shall be allocated to the undertakings listed in Annex X.
