Decision 24/22

March 1998
Multi-phase, umbrella and terminal umbrella projects

Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/24/17, paragraphs 36-39), the Executive Committee decided to request the Secretariat and the implementing agencies to meet, as a matter of priority, in the period prior to the next meeting of the Committee in order to examine the issues raised by terminal umbrella projects in light of the deliberations at the current Meeting. In particular, that meeting would need to examine a possible new methodology to be applied to such projects in order to obtain a satisfactory level of information about enterprises on which to base funding decisions and the necessary safeguards that should be put in place to ensure phase-out. It should submit, to the next meeting of the Committee, a paper on the problems faced and possible solutions to expedite the approval of such projects.
