English to French: Methyl Bromide Critical Use Exemption
Source text - English Extract: [...] In 1992, methyl bromide was recognized as a significant ozone depletor and its consumption was frozen at 1991 levels starting in 1995. In 1997, parties agreed to phase out methyl bromide starting in 2005 with interim reductions along the way. These dates are 10 years later for developing countries. Given that methyl bromide is such a widely used fumigant, in 1997, parties also agreed to allow critical and emergency use exemptions for very specific uses of methyl bromide. Users must demonstrate that there are no technically and economic alternatives to methyl bromide , and that they are actively trying to find alternatives to methyl bromide. This Critical Use Exemption (CUE) has been granted for flour mills in Canada, USA, Europe and Australia. At the request of the Canadian National Millers Association (CNMA) the Government of Canada has applied for and received CUE for methyl bromide for some floor mills in Canada, specifically 36.5 t in 2005, 34.8 t in 2006, 30.2 t in 2007, and 28.7 t in 2008.

Translation - French Extrait : [...] En 1992, le bromure de méthyle a été reconnu comme étant un important destructeur d’ozone. Dès 1995, sa consommation a été restreinte aux quantités utilisées en 1991. En 1997, les pays signataires ont convenu d’initier le processus d’élimination graduelle de cette substance à partir de 2005. Les pays en développement disposent de dix années de sursis pour parvenir au même résultat. Étant donné que le bromure de méthyle est un fumigant largement répandu, les Parties au Protocole de Montréal ont toutefois convenu en 1997 d’instaurer un processus d’exemption visant à autoriser l’utilisation du bromure de méthyle dans deux circonstances bien précises : l’utilisation critique et l’utilisation en cas d’urgence. Pour bénéficier d’une exemption, les utilisateurs doivent prouver qu’il n’existe aucune solution de rechange techniquement et économiquement viable au bromure de méthyle. De plus, ils doivent participer activement à la recherche sur les solutions de rechange au bromure de méthyle. Des exemptions pour utilisation critique ont été accordées à des minoteries canadiennes, américaines, européennes et australiennes. À la demande de l’Association canadienne des minoteries de farine de blé (CNMA), le Canada a obtenu une exemption pour utilisation critique du bromure de méthyle pour quelques minoteries de grains canadiennes, à raison de 36,5 tonnes en 2005, 34,8 tonnes en 2006, 30,2 tonnes en 2007 et 28,7 tonnes en 2008.
