Decision 52/3

Taking into consideration the information contained in documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/52/5 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/52/5/Add.1, the discussion on the large number of projects included in the 2007 business plans to be presented for approval at the last meeting in 2007, the relatively large number of projects required for compliance versus those not required for compliance, and the possibility of moving from three to two meetings a year, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the report on the status of the 2007 business plans as contained in documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/52/5 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/52/5/Add.1 and the fact that US $57.3 million in activities required for compliance had not been submitted to the 52^nd Meeting, and that the value of forward commitments approved at the 52^nd Meeting below the value in the 2007-2009 business plan of the Multilateral Fund by roughly US $259,899;
2. To request bilateral and multilateral implementing agencies to submit those activities required for compliance in the 2007 business plans to the 53^rd Meeting;
3. To ask the Secretariat, using the compliance-oriented model, to list separately those activities required for compliance and those not required for compliance in their review and recommendations on projects submitted to meetings; and
4. That the Executive Committee would consider those activities required for compliance first, consistent with prior Executive Committee decisions.
