Having taken note of the considerations of the Sub-Committee (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/23/10/Add.1, paragraphs 64-67), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To approve UNDP’s 1997 work programme amendments;
(b) To make available to UNDP and to the World Bank an amount equivalent to 20 per cent of the project preparation funding indicated in their 1998 draft business plans for project preparation purposes as an advance against their 1998 work programme;
(c) To note the importance which the Sub-Committee attached to close coordination among the implementing agencies in the preparatory stages in order to avoid duplication.
