Brazil: Phasing out methyl bromide in the entire tobacco sector
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/28/25 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/28/25/Add.1)
Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/28/18, paras. 24-26), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To approve a level of funding for the project of US $2.34 million, as a national incentive and on an exceptional basis, to implement the project in order to phase out at least 20 per cent of the methyl bromide currently used in the tobacco sector (from 421.8 to 337.4 ODP tonnes or less) over a period of three years from project commencement;
(b) That the implementing agency should report back to the Executive Committee three years after project commencement with information on the experience gained in the phase-out, including related costs and remaining consumption of ODS in the sector.
