Sri Lanka: Demonstration project on alternatives to methyl bromide for eradication of tea nematodes
Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/13, paras. 100-101), the Executive Committee decided to approve the project at the level of funding indicated in annex II to the present report [document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/48], subject to the condition that the Government of Sri Lanka would provide a letter stating that no more requests for funding would be made for methyl bromide applications in tea plantations, and that after the 24-month duration of the project methyl bromide would be phased out in tea plantations in Sri Lanka. The letter should be received by UNDP before the deadline for the submission of documents for the Twenty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee, failing which the project would be cancelled and the funds would be returned.
