1 periods?
A. The change in the Pacific reflected by the small
2 notation reads that the only foam clam shells remaining
were for Big Mac McNuggets, the filet-o-fish, quarter
3 pounder, and any other sandwich foam was phased out
completely.
4
Q. That indicates a reduction in the amount being used?
5 A. Yes.
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The agents are still the same because of the
reduction in the amount.
7 A. Yes.
8 MR. RAMPTON: Then we go over to February 3rd of this year
which is the last document in this section, 489G, and we
9 find, unless I have misread it, I think two countries
still using HCFCs to some extent; those are Philippines in
10 the left hand column?
A. Yes.
11
Q. But it is HCFCs 22/HC?
12 A. Correct.
13 Q. That is, is it, that some suppliers use hydrocarbons or
HCFCs or the same supplier is using the differente blowing
14 agents for different purposes?
A. Different products.
15
Q. Can you combine those two substances as one blowing agent,
16 or not?
A. I would imagine you could, but I do not know it is
17 common practice.
18 Q. If you go over to the top right hand column under "Europe"
you see Turkey, do you see that?
19 A. Yes, I do.
20 Q. They use wraps, but they do use HCFCs 22 for Big Mac?
A. Correct.
21
Q. So they appear to be planning to phase out the use of CFCs
22 by July 1992, but not for the Big Mac?
A. Right.
23
Q. That seems to be a somewhat contradictory state of
24 affairs?
A. That says in July 1992 they switched all the other
25 foam packaging to wraps.
26 Q. So, the middle column reflects what is stated in the right
hand column?
27 A. Correct.
28 Q. We see by this time Venezuela, at the bottom of the Latin
American column, has abandoned its hydrocarbons in favour
29 of paper?
A. That was actually an inventory issue. They had almost
30 a year of inventory, and so that is why it took so long.
