ARLINGTON, VA — The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy, an industry coalition representing the major business sectors that phased out of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, is urging the Bush Administration and all parties to the Montreal Protocol to continue the course toward compliance with the Protocol and stratospheric ozone layer protection.
“Compliance with the Montreal Protocol by all countries and the phaseout of CFC production and use in developing countries is the most important remaining step in achieving recovery of the ozone layer,” said Kevin Fay, Alliance counsel, at a recent event sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrating the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Montreal Protocol.
