added reservation 10-11-2021 Turkey’s ratification of [t]he Kigali Amendment (2016) … to the Montreal Protocol
agreed by the Twenty-Eighth Meeting of the Parties should in no way be construed as
implying any obligation on the part of Turkey to enter into any dealing with the countries
that Turkey has no diplomatic relations within the framework of UN Environment Programme
activities.
added objection to reservation
Objections Cyprus, 05-10-2022
The Republic of Cyprus has examined the Declaration deposited by the Republic of Turkey
on 10 November 2021, upon ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol
on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer of 15 October 2016, and notes that such
a declaration is not in conformity with the 1985 Vienna Convention for the Protection
of the Ozone Layer and the 1987 Montreal Protocol. By means of the submitted Declaration,
Turkey purports to release itself of the obligation to cooperate with other States
Parties within the framework of the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol. ln
the view of the Republic of Cyprus, this Declaration attempts to exclude or modify
the legal effects of the said treaties, including in effect certain provisions thereof,
in their application to Turkey, concerning cooperation between States Parties, which
is one of the essential elements of and is explicitly envisaged in the aforementioned
instruments. ln light of the above, it is the position of the Republic of Cyprus that
the Declaration submitted by the Republic of Turkey is an interpretative declaration
tantamount to a reservation, contrary to both Article 18 of the 1985 Vienna Convention
for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, and Article 18 of the 1987 Montreal Protocol,
which explicitly prohibit reservations, and, in any event, is incompatible with the
object and purpose of these treaties. The Republic of Cyprus, therefore, rejects the
aforesaid Declaration made by the Republic of Turkey and considers it to be null and
void. The Objection of the Republic of Cyprus shall not preclude the entry into force
of the Amendment to the Protocol, in its entirety, between the Republic of Cyprus
and the Republic of Turkey.

reservation 27-09-2018 Declaration by the European Union in conformity with Article 13 (3) of the Vienna
Convention for the protection of the ozone layer concerning the extent of its competence
with respect to the matters covered by the Convention and by the Montreal Protocol
on substances that deplete the ozone layer.
The following States are at present Members of the European Union: the Kingdom of
Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the
Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, Ireland, the Hellenic Republic,
the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, the Republic of Croatia, the Italian Republic,
the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic, Romania,
the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom
of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
In accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular
Article 192 (1) thereof, the Union has competence for entering into international
agreements, and for implementing the obligations resulting therefrom, which contribute
to the pursuit of the following objectives:
- preserving, protecting and improving the quality of the environment;
- protecting human health;
- prudent and rational utilisation of natural resources;
- promoting measures at international level to deal with regional or worldwide environmental
problems, and in particular combating climate change.
The Union has exercised its competence in the area covered by the Vienna Convention
and the Montreal Protocol by adopting legal instruments, in particular Regulation
(EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009
on substances that deplete the ozone layer (recast) 1, replacing earlier legislation
for the protection of the ozone layer, and of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and
repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 2. The Union is competent for the performance
of those obligations from the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol regarding
which the provisions of Union legal instruments, in particular those mentioned above,
establish common rules and if and insofar as such common rules are affected or altered
in scope by provisions of the Vienna Convention or the Montreal Protocol or an act
adopted in implementation thereof; otherwise the Union's competence continues to be
shared between the Union and its Member States.
The exercise of competences by the European Union pursuant to the Treaties is, by
its nature, subject to continuous development. The Union therefore reserves the right
to adjust this Declaration.
In the field of research, as referred to by the Convention, the Union has competence
to carry out activities, in particular to define and implement programmes; however,
the exercise of that competence does not result in Member States being prevented from
exercising theirs.

reservation 17-06-2020 In ratifying the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete
the Ozone Layer, the Holy See desires to encourage the entire international community
to be resolute in promoting authentic cooperation between politics, science, economics,
and civil society. Such cooperation, as has been shown in the case of the international
ozone regime, «can achieve important outcomes, which make it simultaneously possible
to safeguard creation, to promote integral human development and to care for the common
good, in a spirit of responsible solidarity and with profound positive repercussions
for present and future generations» (Holy See's Declaration Attached to the Instrument
of Accession to the Vienna Convention, the Montreal Protocol and its four Amendments,
9 April 2008). The international ozone regime has demonstrated that «we have the freedom
needed to limit and direct technology; we can put it at the service of another type
of progress, one which is healthier, more human, more social, more integral» (Pope
Francis, Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’, 18 May 2015, n. 112).
In conformity with its own nature and with the particular character of Vatican City
State, the Holy See, by means of the solemn act of ratification, intends to give its
own support to the commitment of States to the correct and effective implementation
of the ozone regime and to care for our common home. To this end, it wishes to acknowledge
the fact that «the continued acceleration of changes affecting humanity and our planet,
coupled today with a more intense pace of life and work, should constantly urge us
to ask whether the goals of this progress are truly directed to the common good and
to a sustainable and integral human development, or whether they cause harm to our
world and to the quality of life of much of humanity, now and in the future» (Message
of His Holiness Pope Francis to the XXXI Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol,
7 November 2019).
