Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/18/5) on the matter of the policy issues raised by the implementing agencies in their business plans and their prioritization, the Executive Committee decided to consider the following issues at the Nineteenth Meeting:
(a) approaches to phase-out in small- and medium-sized enterprises;
(b) approaches to phase-out in low-ODS-consuming countries and very-low-ODS- consuming countries;
(c) the establishment of evaluation and monitoring guidelines for institutional strengthening projects;
(d) what action should be taken when a locally-owned company for which a project had been approved became significantly foreign- (i.e. non-Article 5) owned, before or after the signature of the project document or grant agreement with the implementing agency;
(e) alternatives to the project-by-project approach as a result of the request to the implementing agencies to prepare business plans; and
(f) the establishment of guidelines for the production sector.
