The following main Committees are also within the administrative structure of the Protocol; the Executive Committee (EXCOM) which considers and approves ODS phase-out projects, the Implementation Committee (ImpCom) which handles issues relating to implementation and compliance with the Protocol’s provisions and data issues. The Protocol also has a financial mechanism known as the Multilateral Fund (MLF) for the Implementation of the MP on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, designed to meet the special needs of developing countries. There is also the Scientific and Research body known as Technology Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP) and other Substance/Chemical-based Technical Options Committees for each of the ODS such as MBTOC for Methyl bromide and HTOC for Halons, amongst others. The following are Statutory meetings of the Convention and its Protocol which all country parties are expected to participate in; the Conference of Parties to the VC held once in two years and jointly with the Meeting Of Parties to the MP held yearly where Decisions are taken (High Level), the Open-Ended Working Group Meeting held yearly where technical issues are discussed preparatory to the MOP, Regional Network Meetings for Ozone Officers held twice a year for the Africa Region and other meetings as may be decided by the MOP. …

MemberNomadpower

sustainable temperature controlled road transport Sustainability and cost saving on road transport are primary concerns for all transport operators in Europe. We have succeeded in combining these issues into a unique concept: NomadPower. NomadPower is a cost-saving electrical power supply system that contributes to sustainable temperature controlled road transport. Using NomadPower, the driver refrigerates the load in a sustainable way during breaks. Simply by ‘plugging in’ to NomadPower. So no more noise nuisance or smell from diesel generators. And you as transport operator make substantial savings on fuel costs. NomadPower has over 40 truckparkings with over 200 sockets to plugin. …
