Viet Nam: National CFC and halon phase-out plan (World Bank) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/44/61)

After considering the report by the contact group, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve the national CFC and halon phase-out plan in principle, at a funding level of US $1,260,000 plus agency support costs of US $94,500 to the World Bank, with the following conditions:
   1. The Government of Viet Nam was committed to achieving complete phase-out of CFCs, halons, CTC and TCA in the country, without further requests for funding from the Multilateral Fund, and at least according to the reduction schedule of the Montreal Protocol;
   2. The World Bank would submit a revised proposal for a phase-out plan at least 10 weeks before the 45th Meeting of the Executive Committee. The project proposal should be at the level of funding indicated above, be closely related to the phase-out plan submitted previously, and include a draft Agreement between the Government of Viet Nam and the Executive Committee with verifiable consumption targets; and
   3. The World Bank would start non-administrative activities in Viet Nam directly related to ODS phase-out within eight months of approval of funding of the first tranche of the project. Commencement of such activities would be reported as part of the annual reporting.
