Based on the report of the convenor of the Subgroup, the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To endorse the Secretariat’s request to proceed with the technical audit of the CFC production sector in Argentina;
(b) When required, to allow a country which was not a member of the Subgroup but whose project was being considered by it to attend its meetings in order to provide data and answer questions;
(c) To request the Secretariat to draw up an inventory of the remaining production plants for substances included in Annex A and Annex B to the Montreal Protocol in Article 5 countries and to use that information to reflect on its strategic and work planning and assist it in making future recommendations to the Executive Committee pertaining to priority assignments;
(d) Also to request the Secretariat to explore, within the United Nations financial rules, the feasibility of using the competitive bid process once only to identify a small number of audit contractors who could be used from time to time, with a view to accelerating the audit process;
(e) Further to request all members of the Subgroup to provide the Secretariat with their designated focal points to facilitate future communication between meetings.
