Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/13, paras. 57-74), the Executive Committee decided to approve UNEP’s work programme amendments as contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/17 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/17/Corr.1 at the level of funding indicated in annex II to the present report, with the following amendments concerning specific proposals and on the basis that:
(a) 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;
(b) UNEP is requested to transfer to countries 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 informal inputs into the legislation preparation process.
