After noting that the baseline consumption for Guinea-Bissau had been established during preparation of the country programme, the Executive Committee decided:
- To approve the country programme for Guinea-Bissau contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/43/46, noting that approval of the country programme did not denote approval of the projects identified therein nor their funding levels. Approval of the Guinea-Bissau country programme would be without prejudice to any decisions that might be taken by the Parties following consideration by the Implementation Committee of the consumption data submitted under Article 7 by the Government of Guinea-Bissau; and
- To request the Government of Guinea-Bissau to present information annually to the Executive Committee on progress being made in the implementation of the country programme, in accordance with the decision of the Executive Committee on implementation of country programmes (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/10/40, paragraph 135). Using the approved format, the initial report covering the period 1 July 2004 to 31 December 2004, should be submitted to the Multilateral Fund Secretariat no later than 1 May 2005.
