1 Critical Use Nominations: Final Recommendations MBTOC Cochairs :  Mohamed Besri  Michelle Marcotte  Marta Pizano  Ian Porter 24th MOP - Geneva Montreal Protocol, MOP-24, 12-16 November, Geneva

2 Trends in CUNs The number of CUNs from non A(5) Parties have diminished greatly, from over 116 in 2005 to eight in 2012. After the OEWG Parties asked MBTOC to re-review 5 CUNs.

3 Trends in Total Amount (t) of MB Approved (2010- 2013) or Nominated for Critical Uses in 2014. Overall, CUNs continue to fall. Only 3 non A5 Parties continue to submit nominations. Japan ceased CUNs in this round. tonnes

4 Final 2014 Amounts Recommended in Comparison to Previously Approved CUEs *Numbers rounded to nearest tonne

5 Reporting of Stocks (Dec IX/6 1,bii) MB stocks (t) reported at end of: 20052011 Australia00 Canada3.7-0.6 Israel0Not Reported Japan48.19.7 USA10,417.01249.0 Total10,592.71258.1 -MBTOC CUE recommendations not adjusted to account for stocks -Stocks reported by USA are over twice the annual CUN request. -Table 9.3 of the TEAP report also shows the amount of stocks used and authorised by Parties in 2011

6 MBTOC Soils CUN Reassessment and Final Recommendations 24th MOP - Geneva

7 MB Soil Use- Final 2012 Assessment After the OEWG, three Parties requested reassessment of their individual CUNs Each provided further detailed information to assist with the assessment. The final assessment was conducted by email correspondence of the whole committee Consensus was not achieved on one nomination.

8 Final Recommendations for Soil Use (t) Country and SectorNomination for 2014 Final Rec. 2014 Australia Strawberry runners 29.760[26.784] Canada Strawberry runners 5.261[5.050] USA Strawberry fruit 415.067[389.640] TOTAL 450.088[421.474]

9 Australia - Strawberry runners CUN and Final recommendation

10 Party: Nominated 29.760 t. No further reduction since 2009. After OEWG: Party provided further information on alternatives to MB. The registration of Methyl Iodide has been withdrawn and no other chemical alternatives are suitable. Soilless culture is not technically and economically feasible. Australia - Strawberry runners Final Recommendation MBTOC: Recommends 90% (26.784 t). MBTOC considers that transition to substrates has been successful to date in many countries. A reduction of 10% considered possible for uptake of soilless production in early generation nursery runners.

11 Canada - Strawberry runners CUN and Final recommendation

12 Party: Nominated - 5.261 t. Voluntary dose reduction accepted by grower but no chemical alternatives approved in Prince Edward Island. After OEWG: Party requested more time to transition to soilless substrates if a chemical alternative became available. Canada - Strawberry runners Final Recommendation MBTOC: Final Recommendation - 5.050 t (96% ). MBTOC maintained that substrates were widely available to replace MB for the production of early generation stock plants (50%)

13 USA - Strawberry fruit CUN and Final recommendation

14 CUN Final Recommendation: US Strawberry Fruit Party Nominated for 2014 415.067 t MBTOC interim recommendation343.740 t MBTOC final recommendation (No consensus) 389.640 t. After OEWG: The Party requested full reinstatement based on the withdrawal of registration of methyl iodide and the unavailability of all other chemicals due to a range of regulations. MBTOC: The majority (all but one member) agreed that 45.9 t should be reinstated as methyl iodide is now unavailable, but still maintained a reduction for adoption of other alternatives as barrier films (totally impermeable films) will allow a reduction in dosage rates and this allows for greater use alternatives presently restricted by regulations.

15 SOILS Strawberry fruit (USA) - one member The minority view was that an amount of no more than 381.310 t be granted (ie 8.3 t less than the majority): Alternatives are available for a greater proportion (at least 470 ha) of the nomination than that considered by the majority (421 ha) Too much MB was recommended for critical uses than justifiable under Decision IX/6 Minority View

16 Other Issues Remaining CUNs do not use emission control with barrier films as required in Decision IX/6 The worldwide withdrawal of methyl iodide (except Japan) has put pressure of finding new chemical alternatives for nursery issues especially. Handbook available to assist A5 Parties with any potential CUN applications from 2013 onwards

17 MBTOC Structures and Commodities Final CUN Recommendations 24 th MOP Geneva

20 Australia Rice CUN trend and CUE

21 Australia Packaged Rice Final Recommendation – No Change Party: Nominated 1.187 tonnes, a 50% decrease from amount granted for 2013. Confirmed its phase out plan nominating in 2012 for 2014 as a final transition year. The applicant is adopting phosphine. MBTOC: Recommended 1.187 tonnes. Advised Party on steps to achieve success with phosphine fumigation, including improved temperature control.

22 Canada Flour Mills CUN trend and CUE

23 Canada Flour Mills Final Recommendation – No Change Party: The Party nominated 5.044 tonnes, an approximate 35% decrease of amount granted by the Parties for 2013. The remaining MB users are mills for durum semolina or have bakery mix plants and particularly large structures. MBTOC: MBTOC recommends 5.044 tonnes. SF still not approved for food contact. Pests in mills are unacceptable.

24 USA Mills and cereal CUN trend and CUE amounts

25 US Mills and Food Processors Final Recommendation – No Change Party: Nominated 22.8 tonnes, a 10% decrease of the amount granted for 2013. To allow time to purchase equipment, modify structures, and/or practice using alternatives MBTOC: Recommends 22.8 tonnes. Disaggregated into: rice milling, 2.220 t; for pet food facilities 4.199 t; for mills 16.38t. Asked for updated phase out plan.

26 US Dried Fruit and Nuts CUN trend and CUE

27 US Dried Fruit and Nuts Final Recommendation Party: Nominated 0.740 t, a 10% decrease of the amount granted for 2013. MB required for fast turn-around before shipping, during cool weather at harvest and for dates where SF has not worked. MBTOC Interim: a decrease for dried plums After OEWG: Party supplied data on logistical problems treating dried plums MBTOC: recommends 0.740 tonnes, MBTOC asked for updated phase out plan.

28 US smoke house hams CUN trend and CUE amounts

29 US Dry Cure Pork Final Recommendation Party: nominated 3.73 t, the same amount granted for 2013. No effective and registered alternatives to MB: heat alters product, phosphine and SF have failed to control mites. MBTOC Interim: Unable to assess. After OEWG: Party provide MB use survey data MBTOC: recommends 2.466 tonnes, a 34% decrease. No effective treatment, but improved gas tightness and reduced frequency of fumigation are required and possible.

30 MBTOC Handbook for Critical Use Nominations v 7 24 th MOP Geneva

31 CUN Handbook Revision – Dec XXIII/14 Draft of the 7 th version of the Handbook has been revised in time for submission of remaining CUNs by non A5 Parties, and by A5 Parties seeking MB use after 2015 (nominations may be submitted 2 years in advance). Selected sections were moved within the document to facilitate information flow and simplify the CUN process. Criteria for assessing nominations remain unchanged. Section on Code of Conduct removed Nomination forms updated so only one form is now suggested for both new and continuing nominations, for both Soils and SC requests.

32 CUN Handbook Revision (3) Standard presumptions used to evaluate the CUNs remain unchanged, but have been moved within the document. Economic indicators have been clarified, to reflect standard agricultural economic practice and accommodate differences between Soils and SC MBTOC suggests updating deadlines applying to non A5s for annual submission of CUNs (as per Dec Ex.I/4) to reflect the situation of A5 Parties. Parties may wish to amend Dec Ex.I/4 to reflect these dates or simply adopt them through the new Handbook

33 CUN Handbook Revision (2) Requests for information that was rarely or never supplied by Parties have been removed or simplified from the previous SC form, for example: –Potential market penetration of newly deployed alternatives and alternatives that may be used in the future to bring forward estimated time when MB consumption can be reduced or ultimately eliminated –Section 14 of the SC form on “use/ emission minimisation measures” has been simplified
