Having noted paragraphs 12 to 15 of the overview paper (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/27), as well as the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/26, paragraphs 15 and 16), the Executive Committee decided:
- To urge low-volume-consuming countries to consider carefully whether it was in their interests at this stage to request final funding to achieve total phase-out of CFCs;
- To request implementing and bilateral agencies to give priority to assisting countries with implementation of the approved refrigeration management plan to meet their 2005 and 2007 CFC control targets;
- To urge all Article 5 Parties concerned to ensure that all the provisions of Decision 38/64 were applied before submitting projects for terminal phase-out management plans; and that the acceleration of phase-out implied by the terminal phase-out management plan had met the criteria established by the Executive Committee for prioritizing accelerated phase-out; and
- To give urgent consideration to the adoption of criteria for project funding to accelerate phase-out and/or to maintain momentum.
