Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/4, para. 33) on the 1999 business plans of the implementing agencies contained in documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/14 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/14/Corr.1, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To request members of the Executive Committee and implementing agencies to communicate to the Secretariat, within 60 days, their views on:
   1. The current indicators for the evaluation of the performance of the implementing agencies in achieving the targets in their business plans;
   2. The possible need for new indicators (for example, on assistance provided by implementing agencies to national ozone units and the effective operation of the units) in the light of decisions on strategic planning;
   3. The need for and possible uses of agency shares, including the removal of fixed shares, special funding windows and over-programming;
   4. Potential consequences for agencies not meeting existing and potential new performance targets;
2. To request the Secretariat to prepare a report based on the comments received for submission to the 32nd meeting;
3. Also to request UNEP to report project implementation status using the indicators required by the decisions of the Executive Committee, bearing in mind that UNEP had not indicated its achievements against its own targets for the following:
   1. Policies initiated from non-investment activities;
   2. Reduction in ODP tons from non-investment activities;
   3. The extent to which the networks were used by the agencies and the Secretariat in developing their work or explaining new policies;
4. To request the implementing agencies to report on all of the indicators required by the decisions of the Executive Committee.
