The Executive Committee decided:
(a) That, in view of the status of Lebanon as a Party not operating under Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Montreal Protocol, as confirmed by the Ozone Secretariat, it was not eligible for funding from the Multilateral Fund;
(b) That the above determination could be revisited in the light of any new information that may be received from the Ozone Secretariat;
(c) All projects submitted to the Seventeenth Meeting for Lebanon are therefore deferred.
