Taking into account the fact that Germany’s bilateral cooperation exceeded 20 per cent of its 2006 contribution in the current replenishment period, the Executive Committee decided:
- To continue to inform the Meeting of the Parties of cases where bilateral cooperation exceeded 20 per cent of its 2006 contribution in the current replenishment period, in particular where they relate to commitments for existing multi-year agreements;
- To approve the proposal from France for the preparation of a terminal phase-out management plan for CFCs in the Seychelles at the level of funding indicated in Annex II to the present report; and
- To request the Treasurer to offset the costs of the bilateral projects approved at the 49th Meeting, in the light of decisions 48/18 and 49/29 as follows:
- US $47,460 against the balance of Canada’s bilateral contribution for 2006;
- US $651,500 against the balance of France’s bilateral contribution for 2006; and
- US $357,500 against Germany’s bilateral contribution for 2007.
