Decision 57/35

Following the presentation of the report and the Sub-group’s recommendations, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note that, when preparing any production sector projects, it was understood that, in accordance with usual practice, preparation of production sector phase-out activities would start after the Executive Committee had decided to initiate a technical audit of relevant production facilities;
2. To request the Secretariat:
   1. To undertake an analysis of the technical feasibility of redirecting HCFC-22 production from controlled uses to feedstock uses;
   2. If such redirection was found technically feasible, to consider in the analysis options for ensuring that any redirection to feedstock uses was sustained;
   3. To consider in the analysis any costs for downstream facilities (for example those that produced polytetrafluoroethylene) associated with the redirected HCFC feedstock use; and
   4. To make the analysis available in time for the 59^th Meeting of the Executive Committee;
3. To note the information provided by the Secretariat on the Clean Development Mechanism and the amounts of HCFC-22 production available for credits; and
