ANNEXSupplementary provisions

Definition of production capacity and reference figure for chlorofluorocarbons F-11 and F-12 1. Production capacity is defined as full capacity in 24 hours of continuous service, multiplied by the average number of days per year the plants are able to run under normal conditions of maintenance and safe operability. It is expressed in tonnes per year. 2. The reference figure for the total Community production capacity, including all 10 Community producers, is 480 000 tonnes per year based on a weighted mean of 332 working days per year. This includes all lines producing chlorofluorocarbons F-11 and F-12 on 26 March 1980, either exclusively or on a seasonal basis.
