The meetings will also discuss implementation mechanisms, and the authority's experts will present their ideas and proposals, relying on Kuwait's experience in adhering to the Protocol.The authority is cooperating with public and private sector organizations to guarantee the implementation of the amendments to the system, said the official. Furthermore, the prohibition on use or setting of quotas for ozone depleting substances will be of positive impact on the environment, he stressed.The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances believed to be responsible for ozone depletion.The treaty was opened for signature on September 16, 1987, and entered into force on January 1st 1989.
