After being advised of the outcome of further informal discussions with several Members of the Executive Committee, the Secretariat and UNIDO, the Executive Committee decided:

  1. To approve the national transition strategy for the phase-out of CFC metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and the project for the phase-out of CFC consumption in the manufacture of aerosol MDIs in Mexico at the amount of US $2,630,503 plus agency support costs of US $197,288 for UNIDO, on the understanding that no further funding would be provided for CFC-MDI conversion in Mexico;
  2. To note that in respect of the adjustment required by paragraph (b) of Executive Committee decision 52/30 a total of US $285,950 is to be deducted to eliminate double‑counting of funds provided under the national phase-out plan approved by the Executive Committee at its 42nd Meeting as follows:
    1. US $85,950 from the project for the phase-out of CFC consumption in the manufacture of aerosol MDIs mentioned in paragraph (a) above; and
    2. UNIDO would return the remaining US $200,000 plus agency support costs of US $15,000 from the national phase-out plan to the 54th Meeting.
