Having considered the report on options to advance phase-out in the SME sector (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/22/69), and its presentation by the Secretariat, the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To note the report on options to advance phase-out in the SME sector;
(b) To note that several representatives expressed concern about problems associated with accessing the relevant data and with its reliability;
(c) To invite countries to provide the Secretariat and the Executive Committee with explanations of the factors responsible for these problems;
(d) To note also that several representatives expressed concerns that advancing phase-out in the SME sector required moving beyond relying on "a project approach" and focusing, instead, on other types of support measures to assist individual Article 5 Parties to meet the ODS control schedules in the Montreal Protocol.
