On the question of wider applicability of the initial guidance on further development of the halon sector approach pilot programme, after a discussion among the members, the Executive Committee decided:
(a) In order to enable an Article 5 country to comply with the provisions of the Montreal Protocol, the concerned Article 5 country may select a sector, project-by-project or any other approach agreeable to the Executive Committee for accessing the Multilateral Fund. Projects should be given the same priority, irrespective of the approach chosen. No approach should proceed without the express agreement of the Executive Committee and the concerned Article 5 country;
(b) The development of projects based on a sector approach should take into account the specific circumstances of the concerned Article 5 country.
