For example, for any country in which per capita use of CFCs was less then 0.3 kilograms in 1986 (mainland China having had per capita use of CFCs of 0.03 in that year, while Taiwan was at 0.5 kilograms), there is a ten-year "transition period." For countries from 0.3 to 0.5 kilograms, there is a five-year transition period.
譬如在八六年每人平均用量在○．三公斤以下的國家（中共八六年的每人平均量是○．○三公斤，台灣則是○．五公斤），可以享有十年的「緩衝期」；介於○．三至○．五公斤的國家，則可以有五年的緩衝期等。
