Argentina: Strategy for gradual phase-out of CFC-11 and CFC-12 production: 2005 annual programme (World Bank) (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/45/21)

Following a discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

  1. To approve the 2005 annual work programme at the level of US $300,000 and the associated support costs of US $120,000 for the World Bank, in the light of the results of the verification, in particular of the financial audit indicating that CFC production at FIASA in 2004 had been 3,015 metric tonnes, which was below the target of 3,020 metric tonnes set in the agreement; and
  2. To request the World Bank to follow the guidelines on verifying ODS production phase-out adopted by the Executive Committee in future verifications, to ensure the necessary expertise of the verification team, and to achieve consistency in verifications in countries where it was implementing ODS production phase-out plans.
