UNDP progress reports

After discussing whether countries that planned to submit HPMPs in 2012 already had legislation enabling them to move quickly to meet the HCFC freeze in 2013, the fact that the HPMP for Cuba would be presented to the 65th meeting at the end of 2011 instead of 2012, and that demonstration projects for ODS destruction were more challenging as diverse stakeholders with competing needs made a coherent and sustainable approach more elusive, the Executive Committee decided:

  1. To note UNDP’s progress report contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/64/11;

  2. To request the submission of additional status reports to the 65th meeting on the following projects owing to low rates of disbursement of approved funds:

    5. The RMP component for recovery and recycling of CFC-12 refrigerant in Haiti (HAI/REF/39/TAS/04) and the RMP monitoring component in Haiti (HAI/REF/39/TAS/06), in light of the problems associated with the earthquake in Haiti, bearing in mind decision XXII/12 of the Twenty‑second Meeting of the Parties;
