Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/17, paragraphs 40 to 45), and the proposals from the floor, the Executive Committee decided to approve the World Bank;s work programme amendments, subject to the amendment for a specific project. All approved projects and activities are listed in Annex III to the present report.
Argentina: Project preparation for methyl bromide (citrus and cotton) demonstration project (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/23)
Turkey: Project preparation for methyl bromide (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/23)
Having taken note of the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/25/17, paragraphs 58 and 59), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To approve the above projects at the level of funding indicated in Annex III to the present report;
(b) To request the World Bank, in consultation with the representative of the United States of America and with the Bank’s country partners, to explore the possibility of proposing to the Executive Committee at its 26th Meeting a new modality for the preparation of future project proposals in the field of methyl bromide that might, for example, involve employing a competitive tender approach for project implementation. The proposal would take into account the need to insure the best quality and dissemination of information.
