Following the Secretariat’s proposal and a discussion on the advantages of holding Executive Committee Meetings back-to-back with the Open-ended Working Group and Meetings of the Parties, the Executive Committee decided:
- To hold its 45th Meeting in Montreal from 4 to 8 April 2005;
- To hold its 46th Meeting back-to-back with the Meeting of the Open-ended Working Group;
- To express a strong wish to hold its 47th Meeting back-to-back with the Meeting of the Parties, at a date and venue to be set at the 45th Meeting of the Executive Committee, coordinating with the Ozone Secretariat as appropriate; and
- That the indicative date for the 46th Meeting would be 4 to 8 July 2005 to take place in Montreal, and the Executive Committee expressed a preference for the Executive Committee meeting to be held immediately before that of the Open-ended Working Group.
