The Executive Committee, having noted the recommendations by the Sub-Committee on Project Review on priority for projects in countries with delays in commencing implementation (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/5, paras. 44-45), decided:
(a) That when preparing projects in countries where serious delays in implementation were likely to occur, the implementing agencies could raise these issues with the Executive Committee in those cases where it seemed that the Executive Committee might be able to help remove the impediment, and should submit projects only when such impediments had been resolved;
(b) Noting that it could be the case that one agency’s projects in a given country were proceeding smoothly, while another’s were seriously delayed, an agency not encountering such major delays should continue to submit projects for that country.
