Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Project Review (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/39/19, paragraphs 72 and 73), the Executive Committee decided:
(a) To approve US $13 million for the implementation of the 2003 annual programme of the China CFC production sector phase-out programme and US $975,000 as support costs for the World Bank;
(b) To note the undertaking in the agreement that funding could be used in a flexible manner, and on that basis, acknowledge China’s request, through the World Bank, to use a portion of the funding for the 2003 annual programme of the CFC production sector, to establish a national compliance centre to assist China to meet its Montreal Protocol obligations.
