Decision 51/6

Following the discussion on Germany’s business plan, the TPMP for Angola, the value and activities in all the bilateral plans including project overlaps and the CFC-113 solvent project in Italy’s business plan, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note with appreciation the 2007-2009 business plans on bilateral cooperation, without prejudice to the Parties’ discussions on replenishment following the 2006-2008 triennium, submitted by Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan as addressed in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/51/7;
2. To note the agreement of India to the proposed procedure to accommodate activities in Germany’s 2007 and 2008 business plans that currently exceeded its bilateral contribution, which involved funding part of the 2008 tranche for India’s national phase-out plan in 2009;
3. To request Germany to report to the 52^nd Meeting on the proposed terminal phase‑out management plan (TPMP) projects for Botswana and Swaziland noting that if, at that time, Germany did not have sufficient funds available in its 20 per cent allocation for the triennium, Germany would consult with the relevant countries and the bilateral and implementing agencies regarding the transfer of those projects, reaching a decision agreed by all the parties involved concerning the transfer of those projects;
4. To note that the TPMP for Angola had been removed from Germany’s business plan, at the request of Germany;
5. To maintain the CFC-113 solvent project for the Democratic Republic of the Congo included in Italy’s 2007 business plan in light of decision 35/57; and
6. To urge bilateral agencies and implementing agencies to coordinate with each other when preparing TPMP proposals.
