The Executive Committee, having considered the report submitted by UNEP on innovative approaches for the phasing-out of ozone-depleting substances in low-ODS-consuming countries (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/19/53), decided:
(a) To take note of the report submitted by UNEP;
(b) To endorse the methodology in the report for approaches to institutional strengthening and country programme formulation in low- and very-low-volume-ODS-consuming countries and to encourage UNEP to implement the methodology on a trial basis;
(c) To request UNEP, in keeping with subparagraph (d) of decision VII/25 of the Seventh Meeting of the Parties, to continue its work for the preparation of an overall approach in addressing the needs of low-volume-ODS-consuming countries by, inter alia, drawing on the experience and ongoing activities of other organizations and to submit a report thereon to the Executive Committee at its Twentieth Meeting.
