The Executive Committee, having considered document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/66 and the recommendation by the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/5, para. 56), decided:
(a) That priority funding should be given for the preparation of projects in the halon fire extinguisher subsector in its business planning for 1997;
(b) That, as an interim measure before the Committee took a decision on whether or not to endorse the agreement on eligible cost categories in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/66 as an addition to the guidelines, the implementing agencies should use those categories in preparing projects for the halon fire extinguisher subsector for submission to the next meeting of the Executive Committee.
