1. To note the progress report on the implementation of the second tranche of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Liberia;
2. To approve the third and final tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Liberia, and the corresponding 2020-2021 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $31,500, plus agency support costs of US $4,095 for the Government of Germany, on the understanding that:
   1. The approved funds would not be transferred to the Government of Germany until the verification report covering the period 2015 to 2019 had been submitted to the Secretariat;
   2. The recommendations included in the verification report would be addressed during the implementation of the third and final tranche of stage I and stage II of the HPMP, and that the actions implemented towards that end would be included in the progress report of stage I of the HPMP to be submitted as part of the request for stage II of the HPMP for Liberia; and
   3. In the unlikely event of Liberia’s non-compliance with the targets set in its Agreement with the Executive Committee for stage I of the HPMP, the penalty applicable as per Appendix 7-A of the Agreement would be deducted from the eligible funding for stage II of its HPMP, the request for which could be submitted only after the verification report referred to in sub-paragraph (b)(i) above had been submitted to the Secretariat.
