Decision 65/41

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Malaysia for the period 2011 to 2016 to reduce HCFC consumption by 15 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $9,587,470, plus agency support costs of US $719,060 for UNDP,
2. To note that the Government of Malaysia had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 515.76 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 494.04 ODP tonnes and 537.47 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;
3. To deduct 103.02 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
4. To note that approval of stage I of the HPMP did not preclude Malaysia from submitting, prior to 2015, a proposal to achieve a reduction in HCFCs beyond that addressed in stage I of the HPMP;
5. To approve the draft Agreement between the Government of Malaysia and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXVII to the present report;
6. To request UNDP to report at the end of 2013 the status of the adoption of low global warming potential (GWP) alternative technologies by the four systems houses assisted in the technical assistance component and to provide confirmation that the HCFC import quota has been established; and
7. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Malaysia, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $5,000,000, plus agency support costs of US $375,000 for UNDP.
