There was general appreciation of the analysis presented in the desk study and agreement that more analysis would be useful, including field visits. Such further analysis should focus on deepening the understanding of reasons for non-compliance and return to compliance and show the practical measures taken to move back to compliance. After discussing the best methodological approach, the Executive Committee decided:
- To note with appreciation the desk study on non-compliance with the freeze in consumption of CFCs, halons, methyl bromide and methyl chloroform contained in documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/46/8 and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/46/8/Corr.1;
- To request the Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Officer to include countries in non‑compliance in the sample of field visits planned for evaluations of refrigerant management plans in non-low-volume-consuming countries and of national and sectoral phase-out plans; and
- To request the Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Officer to include a full analysis and follow-up study on cases of non-compliance, including field visits, in the monitoring and evaluation work programme for 2006.
