Decision 37/13

Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/37/4, paras. 29 and 30), the Executive Committee decided:

(a) To note UNIDO’s progress report contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/37/15;

(b) To request UNIDO to provide an additional status report to the 38th meeting of the Executive Committee on the institutional strengthening project with slow implementation in Yugoslavia, while noting concern that the institutional strengthening project in Yugoslavia was classified for the second year with slow implementation;

(c) To note that through May 2001, UNIDO had 138 projects that it had classified as completed for over one year with remaining balances totalling US $4,661,333;

(d) To note that UNIDO would report to the 38th meeting on up to 34 projects with implementation delays including 21 projects that were so classified the previous year;

(e) To note that the procedures for project cancellation should be applied as appropriate to the following projects:

      (i) Phasing out of ODS at the refrigerator plant of Bole Electric Appliances Group in China (CPR/REF/23/INV/222); and

      (ii) Phasing out of CFC-11 with HCFC-141b at Friobox in the production of rigid P.U. panels in Venezuela (VEN/FOA/31/INV/83);

(f) To note that the balances returned to the 30th meeting for the following projects were subsequently revised by the data for the same projects presented to the 34th meeting to reflect an adjustment of US $65,023 and US $8,451 in support costs. The Treasurer should revise the amount returned for the following projects with the data provided to the 34th meeting:

(g) To note that the balances returned to the 34th and 36th meetings for ALG/REF/27/PRP/35 were in error. The Treasurer should adjust the record for the project accordingly by reflecting an adjustment of US $14,297 and US $1,859 in support costs. In authorising these adjustments due to errors in reporting by UNIDO, the Executive Committee notes the inaccurate data reporting from UNIDO.
