The quota system mentioned in the statement was based on the ozone-depleting potential of the substances, which is a measure of their ability to deplete the ozone layer. This allowed for flexibility in meeting the target as the industry could choose to reduce the supply of substances with higher ozone-depleting potential over those with lower potential, as long as the overall quota was met.
