Following the discussion, the Executive Committee decided:
- To note documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/68/46 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/68/46/Corr.1 containing information on the amounts of HCFC-141b-based pre-blended polyols exported by Article 5 countries;
- When stage II of the countries’ HPMPs were submitted, to deduct the following amounts of HCFC-141b exported in pre-blended polyols from the starting point for aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption: 2.42 ODP tonnes for Chile; 137.83 ODP tonnes for China; 12.30 ODP tonnes for Colombia and 28.60 ODP tonnes for Mexico; and
- To encourage relevant Article 5 countries to consider establishing a national system for recording the amounts of HCFC-141b contained in pre-blended polyols imported and/or exported (where applicable) to support the ban on imports of pure HCFC-141b, as well as that contained in pre-blended polyols, to be issued once all the foam enterprises had been converted, and to facilitate monitoring of these enterprises to sustain the phase-out of HCFC-141b.
