The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve the country programme update for Morocco, noting that approval of the country programme update did not denote approval of the projects identified therein or their funding levels;
- To take note that, according to proviso A of Decision 35/57, if an Article 5 country selected option 2, it should be with the understanding that the Executive Committee might agree in exceptional cases to adjust the resulting baseline at the first instance a project from a country is considered, to take into account the demonstrated non‑representative nature of the last year’s data for reasons such as clearly demonstrated stockpiling in the specific 12-month period, and/or national economic difficulties in the specific 12-month period, and that there were no other provisos in Decision 35/57 for a change in the starting point for determining the remaining consumption eligible for funding; and
- To discuss projects proposed by Morocco under its country programme update in accordance with Executive Committee guidelines.
