Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/7, paragraph 35), the Executive Committee decided:
- To take note of UNIDO’s progress report contained in UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/17;
- To monitor the following projects as projects with implementation delays and note their slow progress:
- methyl bromide phase-out plan in Turkey (TUR/FUM/35/INV/74);
- methyl bromide phase-out project in Uganda (UGA/FUM/34/INV/08);
- methyl bromide demonstration project in Botswana (BOT/FUM/25/DEM/05);
- methyl bromide demonstration project in Cameroon (CMR/FUM/25/DEM/16);
- methyl bromide workshop in Mali (MLI/FUM/26/TRA/12); and
- methyl bromide demonstration project in Thailand (THA/FUM/25/DEM/97);
- To note that UNIDO would report to the 41st Meeting of the Executive Committee on up to 26 projects with implementation delays, including 15 projects that had been so classified in 2002;
- Also to note that UNIDO had 90 projects classified as completed for over one year with remaining balances totalling US $2,951,018; and
- To request UNIDO and the Secretariat to address the financial inconsistencies between UNIDO’s progress report and the Secretariat’s Inventory of Approved Projects in the context of the reconciliation of accounts to be submitted to the 41st Meeting pursuant to Decision 38/9(d), noting that overruns should not be allowed pursuant to Decision 17/22.
