This Protocol was designed to reduce the production and consumption of ozone depleting substances in order to reduce their abundance in the atmosphere, and thereby protect the earth’s fragile ozone Layer. For the chemicals specified by the protocol, Parties should adjust the rates of consumption and annual production of those chemicals and comparing the quantities specified on the national level in order to minimize and reduce production and consumption by a specific time (varies depending on the type of chemical and depending on the different nature of the states parties in terms of being developed or developing). And prohibits parties trading of (ODS) with non-States Parties to the Convention. The Montreal Protocol includes a unique adjustment provision that enables the Parties to the Protocol to respond quickly to new scientific information and agree to accelerate the reductions required on chemicals already covered by the Protocol. These adjustments are then automatically applicable to all countries that ratified the Protocol. The Parties to the Montreal Protocol have amended the Protocol to enable, among other things, the control of new chemicals and the creation of a financial mechanism to enable developing countries to comply. These amendments are: London Amendment (1990), Copenhagen Amendment (1992), Montreal Amendment (1997) and the Beijing Amendment (1999).
