Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review on the question of customs training in the context of refrigerant management plans (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/13, paras. 26-27), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) That no funds should be expended on customs-training projects until either the relevant legislation was already in place or substantial progress had been made towards promulgating such legislation;
- To request Implementing Agencies to transfer to countries that were in the process of preparing legislation information on ODS issues of relevance to customs authorities so that, as stakeholders, they would be able to provide informed inputs into the legislation preparation process;
(c) To examine, mindful of its decision 25/32, customs-training projects on a case by case basis in order to determine whether or not chemical-identification equipment should be included in them.
