Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/38/14, paragraphs 67 and 68), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) That in future, in proposing for approval any projects that included a CFC recovery and recycling programme, the implementing agencies would:
(i) Examine the possibility of collaboration for leveraging additional financing, for example from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), to fund the acquisition of machinery which could be used for recovery and recycling of both HFCs and CFCs; and
(ii) Consistent with previous decisions, not commence the recovery and recycling component of the RMPs until the legislation controlling CFC imports was in place and measures had been taken to ensure that the local market prices of CFCs and non-ODS refrigerants were similar;
(b) For projects to phase out CFCs by conversion to HCFC technologies, Governments had officially endorsed the choice of technology and it had been clearly explained to them that no further resources could be requested from the Multilateral Fund for funding any future replacement for the transitional HCFC technology that had been selected.
