Cyprus: institutional strengthening (UNEP)
Having considered the recommendation of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/22/15, para. 45), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To recall decision VI/5, paragraph (e), of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties, whereby, inter alia, countries initially classified as non-Article 5 but subsequently reclassified as operating under that Article were urged not to request financial assistance from the Multilateral Fund;
(b) To note that Cyprus had been reclassified as operating under Article 5 in 1994;
(c) To note also that Cyprus had a relatively high level of per capita gross domestic product and that the Executive Committee was endeavouring to channel funds to those countries most in need of assistance in order to meet their requirements under the Protocol;
(d) To urge Cyprus, consistent with decision VI/5, paragraph (e), of the Sixth Meeting of the Parties, not to seek support from the Multilateral Fund.
