Decision 40/16

July 2003
Project cancellation

Having considered the comments and recommendations of the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/7, paragraphs 45 to 47), the Executive Committee decided:

  1. To take note of the document on phase-out from cancelled projects (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/40/22);
  2. To request that reasons for project cancellation be specified by the implementing agencies and taken into account by the Executive Committee in its decisions on project cancellation;
  3. That projects cancelled due to the non-provision by the beneficiary of its non‑incremental counterpart contributions may be resubmitted on a case-by-case basis;
  4. To consider, on a case-by-case basis, the resubmission of cancelled projects in cases where their completion enables compliance with control measures, provided that the enterprise is determined to be financially viable and, preferably, that the implementation timeframe is accelerated; and
  5. That enterprises with cancelled projects eligible for resubmission pursuant to Decision 29/8 may be allowed to submit a request to reinstate the cancelled projects with the incremental costs adjusted by the amount of funds disbursed on the cancelled projects, and the level of phase-out based on the original approval as modified by Decision 39/13(b).
