The Chair advised that the request for project preparation for the MDI conversion project in Colombia had been discussed at length at the 52nd Meeting and it appeared that, given the continued opposition, it would not be possible to approve the request. In light of that and the discussion on the projects submitted for blanket approval under agenda item 7(a), the Executive Committee decided:
- Not to approve the request for project preparation for Colombia; and
- Not to consider the HCFC surveys submitted by UNDP at the present Meeting.
