82. The Executive Committee also agreed to the following special arrangements:
(a) To avoid unintentional market distortions, projects should be submitted to phase out the country's entire fire extinguisher sub-sector and the funding distributed among all manufacturers in the sub-sector. However, for countries with more than five halon extinguisher enterprises, the projects could be submitted in groups of enterprises that were likely to be competitive for the same market within the country;
(b) To ensure that the project objectives were fulfilled, the government should clearly indicate that the use of halon 1211 in the sub-sector covered by the project approved by the Committee should be prohibited through import bans or commitments to reduced halon production, or both;
(c) Agreements should be reached with upstream substitute producers whose conversion was supported by the Fund to determine the appropriate input prices for substitutes used by downstream manufacturers to avoid double-counting;
(d) To standardize project proposals and facilitate an expeditious review, baseline and with-project capital and operating costs should be presented in project proposals;
(e) The World Bank should be asked to prepare a study on how to set up a concessional loans mechanism; i.e., what options were available given current implementing agencies and their procedures, what steps would be required to put the mechanism in place, and to what extent could the Bank use its resources or the resources from other sources for phase-out in Article 5 countries.
