The Executive Committee decided:
(a) in accordance with Decision 17/20, to approve for funding at the Eighteenth Meeting the Consolidated List of Projects, which is included as Annex III to the present report;

(c) that, after deducting the required funding for the projects contained in the Consolidated List from the funds available, the amount available for new projects presented to it at its Eighteenth Meeting would be US $20,179,577;
(d) to approve projects and activities included in Annex IV to the present report eligible for funding;
(e) that investment projects in low-ODS-consuming countries that fell within the cost-effectiveness threshold but which could not be funded out of the sectoral allocation at the Eighteenth Meeting should be funded out of the allocation for the low‑ODS‑consuming countries category;
(f) that, since the totality of the MAC and compressor sector projects on the consolidated list was significantly more than the agreed allocations, new projects in the MAC and compressor sector should not receive further priority at the Eighteenth Meeting;
