The ozone layer is recovering from the prohibition of CFCs, but the main cause of this recovery is not the prohibition, but the Sun. The researchers of the German Aerospace Center have reached this conclusion using a computer model. It seems that the last measurements of ozone have been made in a period of great solar intensity (with cycles of 11 years in intensity), and the high intensity favours the formation of ozone molecules.
