The Executive Committee, having noted the statement by the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/5, para. 18) that there was a presumption that projects would be implemented as approved, but that technology was evolving rapidly and some degree of flexibility might be required in exceptional cases, decided:
(a) That the implementing agencies should exceptionally be allowed to propose changes in the technology approved by the Executive Committee for particular projects;
(b) That adequate and detailed justification should be provided for any changes proposed;
(c) To urge the implementing agencies to keep additional project preparation to a minimum;
(d) To approve the six projects involving a change in technology after approval, contained in Annex II to document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/20/6/Rev.1, noting that the two projects from Venezuela were approved at a saving to the Fund in the amount of US $515,258 (including support costs).
