On May 16, 2007 the Government of Armenia adopted a legislation bill
restricting the import of substances damaging the ozone layer of
earth’s atmosphere.
Vice-Minister for Nature Protection Simon Papian said that the
International Convention on Restriction of Production of Substances
Damaging the Ozone Layer was adopted in Vienna, 1985, and tits final
provision was signed in Montreal, 1987. Armenia endorsed that document
in 1999.
The Vice-Minister said that the import of those damaging substances
will be reduced to 29,5 tons a year in 2007-2009 and finally stopped
in 2010.
