Peru: Phase-out of methyl bromide in soil fumigation in Peru (UNDP) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/41)
Having considered the recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/21, paras. 45 and 46), the Executive Committee decided to approve the above project at the level of funding indicated in annex V to the present report, on the understanding that:
- UNDP would disburse the funds approved in tranches according to the proposed methyl bromide phase-out schedule indicated in the project proposal;
- If Peru did not meet the reduction requirements outlined in the proposal, UNDP would withhold funding for the subsequent tranche of funding until such time as the required reduction had been met;
- UNDP would submit an annual progress report on the implementation of the project to the Fund Secretariat;
- A package of policy measures would be developed to ensure that, by the end of 2002, methyl bromide consumption for soil fumigation would be reduced to the baseline level, and would be completely phased out by the end of 2005. Such measures would also ensure that methyl bromide was not reintroduced after users had stopped using it.
