Projects approved / deferred / transferred

In approving as eligible for funding the Philippines project for the elimination of the use of CFC-13, trichloroethane (TCA), CFC-11 and CFC-12 at multiple corporations that manufacture special formulations for various industrial markets, the Executive Committee decided that such approval was subject to the following conditions:

(a) The test chemicals were to be placed under the control of UNDP and the project consultant and provided to the enterprises for consultant-supported tests only. Duplication of testing for similar formulations was to be avoided. Any residual chemicals would be carried forward to the second and final phase of the project;

(b) The operational costs would not be made available by UNDP until the companies had demonstrated a complete ODS phase-out in their blending operations;

(c) The Government of the Philippines would not seek funding from the Multilateral Fund for phase out of ODS by the end-users.
