Proposed increases in consumption of a foam enterprise in the United Republic of Tanzania

Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review on the quality of project proposals (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/16, paras. 8-9), the Executive Committee decided:

(a) To consider the case purely in terms of the project itself and not as a policy issue;

(b) To note that the enterprise concerned was entitled to full compensation for conversion to methylene chloride technology;

(c) To decide that the full history of the project proposal, including the trend in ODS consumption in the enterprise, should be taken into account if and when it was resubmitted to the Committee;

(d) To encourage UNDP, on the basis of the discussion in the Sub-Committee, to explore the possibility of resubmitting the project before the consumption level of the enterprise exceeded the 50 tonne eligibility threshold and to seek the agreement of the enterprise on the provision of partial funding should it wish to acquire the liquid carbon dioxide technology.
