The Executive Committee decided:
(a) To take an annual consumption level of 360 tonnes as the cut-off point below which a country would be considered to be a low-ODS-consuming country for the purposes of determining the eligibility of projects for funding from the allocation reserved for such countries in accordance with the decision adopted by the Executive Committee at its Sixteenth Meeting (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/16/20, para. 32 (g) (iii));
(b) That there should not be a separate set of cost-effectiveness thresholds to be applied to projects from low-ODS-consuming countries that did not meet the general threshold values agreed by the Executive Committee at its Sixteenth Meeting (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/16/20, para. 32 (c));
(c) That UNEP, in consultation with the other implementing agencies and the Secretariat, should prepare for submission to the Sub-Committee at its next meeting a paper on innovative approaches to phasing out ozone-depleting substances in such countries.
