5. 5 Slow submission of iPIC infosheet by Asian countries in 2010. Possibly due to: 1st ODS group banned, the 2nd group not controlled yet (no quota). Less motivation for iPIC? Staff change? Workload of the HPMP preparation? Some key countries in ODS trade not participating – e.g. Argentina, Brazil, India, Russia, and USA Notable cases – queries F-gas (31MT) and R-134a (62MT); Case of recycled CFCs; Cases of servicing ships with HCFCs.
