Q. There are, however, still 22 countries using HCFCs 22?
2 A. Also correct.
3 Q. We notice in Latin America that there are a number of
countries using HCFCs 22, do you see that?
4 A. Yes, several.
5 Q. All hydrocarbons, and that only two, Argentina and El
Salvador, are using paper board?

7 Q. On the right hand column, we see a whole list of dates for
