Honduras: Phase-out of methyl bromide in melon and banana production sector and tobacco seedling (UNIDO) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/37/38 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/37/38/Add.1)

Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/37/22 paras. 80 and 81), the Executive Committee decided:

(a) To approve US $1,977,454, excluding agency support costs, for the phase-out of 213 ODP tonnes of methyl bromide, to achieve a 25 per cent reduction in the methyl bromide baseline consumption by 2005;

(b) To note that the Government of Honduras undertook to permanently sustain this reduction in the consumption of methyl bromide through implementation of the project and the use of import restrictions and other policies that it might deem necessary;

(c) To request UNIDO to report to the Executive Committee once the project had been completed and the phase-out under the project had been achieved;

(d) To note that the Executive Committee would consider additional funding of the project for Honduras at that time, if it determined that an additional reduction was a priority.
