Having taken note of the considerations of the Sub-Committee (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/23/10/Add.1, paragraphs 62 and 63), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To approve UNIDO’s request for an advance against its 1998 work programme in the amounts of US $190,000 and US $24,700 for agency fees;
(b) To request UNIDO, in the light of the Sub-Committee’s observation of a possibility of overlap between certain projects being undertaken by UNIDO vis à vis projects being undertaken by UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank, to defer disbursing funds for such projects until the possibility of overlap had been cleared.
