The Executive Committee decided:

1. With regard to China:
   1. To take note of the verification report regarding CFC consumption in the refrigeration servicing sector in China during the year 2009;
   2. To note that the annual implementation report for the years 2009 and 2010 would be considered at the 63^rd meeting of the Executive Committee;
2. With regard to Colombia:
   1. To note the progress report on the implementation of the national CFC phase‑out plan (NPP) for Colombia, covering the 2009-2010 period;
   2. To approve the annual implementation programme for 2011;
3. With regard to Oman:
   1. To take note of the verification of the CFC terminal phase-out management plan (TPMP) in Oman in 2009 and the recommendations contained therein;
   2. To encourage the Government of Oman to continue its efforts to control the use of CFCs, and to apply the conclusions and recommendations of the verification when implementing the HCFC phase-out management plan;
4. With regard to the global project:
   1. To note the report entitled“Methyl formate as blowing agent in the manufacture of polyurethane systems. An assessment for the application in MLF projects”, submitted by UNDP;
   2. To note that the 2010 assessment report of the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel would provide further information on a variety of alternatives for the phase-out of HCFC-141b in polyurethane foam applications and would be available before the meeting of the Open-ended Working Group in 2011;
   3. To request bilateral and implementing agencies to share the UNDP assessment report on methyl formate, together with information on other alternatives, when assisting Article 5 countries in preparing projects for the phase-out of HCFC‑141b in polyurethane foam applications;
   4. To request bilateral and implementing agencies to provide to the Fund Secretariat information on alternatives for the phase-out of HCFC-141b in polyurethane foam applications as projects were implemented;
