The Executive Committee, having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/4, para. 26), decided:
(a) To take note with appreciation of the business plans for bilateral cooperation submitted by Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/11 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/11/Corr.1);
(b) To urge that, when preparing business plans for bilateral cooperation, there should be ongoing discussion among the bilateral donors, the implementing agencies and the Fund Secretariat in order to avoid overlapping and to provide consistency;
(c) To note the explanations given by the representative of Sweden concerning the projects in its business plan for bilateral cooperation in 2000;
(d) To request the Government of France to review the chiller replacement projects in its business plan in the light of decisions taken by the Executive Committee on the funding of such projects.
