Decision 42/49

Recognizing that, in order to apply decision Ex.I/2 of the Extraordinary Meeting of the Parties, more information on the status of implementation of approved projects for the accelerated phase-out of methyl bromide was required, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To request the Multilateral Fund Secretariat to prepare for the 43rd Meeting of the Executive Committee, an appropriate document covering updated status of the implementation of approved projects for accelerated phase-out of methyl bromide, based on available information in the Secretariat and relevant bilateral and implementing agencies;
2. To invite Executive Committee Members to submit to the Secretariat, by 30 April 2004, their comments on the implementation of decision Ex.I/2 of the Parties; and
3. To consider, at its 43rd Meeting, the need to establish a contact group to consider the paper prepared by the Secretariat and any submission by the Executive Committee Members.
