The Executive Committee, having considered the 1997 work programme of the World Bank (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/21/18), together with the comments and recommendations of the Fund Secretariat thereon, as well as the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/21/12, paras. 29-30), decided:
(a) To approve the activities in the World Bank’s 1997 work programme listed in Annex IV to the present report for the amounts indicated and subject to the conditions specified in its decisions 21/5 subparagraph (c), 21/16, 21/18, 21/19, 21/21, 21/23, 21/32 and 21/39 subparagraph (b);
(b) That, rather than approving an amount within the work programme for unforeseen requests for project preparation activities, as provided for in its decision 19/10, it would consider work programme amendments for such activities submitted by the World Bank in the course of the year.
