The Executive Committee, having noted the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/17, paragraphs 46 to 50), decided:
(a) To approve the above eight project proposals for refrigerant management plans for the Dominican Republic and El Salvador, pending the establishment of relevant legislation or policies in those countries at the level of funding indicated in Annex III to the present report;
(b) In addition, concerning projects (c) and (e) above, to approve the customs training components of those projects at a funding level of US $38,000 each;
(c) To request that the possibility of carrying out more cost-effective regional training be considered in future projects.
(d) To request the Secretariat to undertake further study on the question of the gains arising from recovered and recycled ozone-depleting refrigerants, which would lead to a renewed discussion within the Sub-Committee on the issue of offsetting benefits in large recycling efforts.
