The Executive Committee, having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/4, paras. 7 and 8), decided:
(a) To take note of the final report on the 1999 evaluation of refrigeration projects and draft follow-up action plan (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/30/5);
(b) As a follow-up to the decision in paragraph 32(b) in the report of the Sixteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee and decision 26/13, paragraphs (a) and (b), to request the Secretariat, in cooperation with the implementing agencies, to develop definitions and procedures leading to more transparency and consistency in calculating ODS phase-out in project documents and project completion reports (PCRs), and to report on the results to the Thirty-second Meeting of the Executive Committee;
(c) To add the following paragraph to Executive Committee decision 28/2:“To request the agencies to withhold, wherever possible, part of the project funding or reimbursement of cost until proof of disposal and destruction of equipment has been provided.”
(d) To request the Secretariat to establish, in cooperation with the implementing agencies, lists of key parts for standard equipment which need to be destroyed or rendered unusable, while other parts to be specified could be used as spare parts or in a service department, e.g. leak detectors, and in so doing to identify suitable mechanisms to verify destruction; and
(e) To request implementing agencies to inform the National Ozone Units (NOUs) of the purpose and outcome of all missions by their staff and consultants to the countries concerned, and always to involve NOUs in project identification and preparation.
