The Executive Committee decided:
- To confirm that the Agreement with China to phase out CTC for process agent applications and other non-identified uses (Phase I) approved at the 38th Meeting did not cover the production or use of CTC as feedstock for non-ODS chemicals, and that China should verify the amount of CTC used for such applications and report to the Ozone Secretariat under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol; and
- To approve the 2005 annual work programme but withhold approval of the funding and the associated support costs until the 45th Meeting, when the World Bank would submit verification of the 2004 work programme.
