Decision 54/18

Following a discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To remove the request for project preparation for HCFC phase-out management plans (HPMPs) from UNEP’s amendments to its 2008 work programme;
2. That UNEP could submit its request for preparatory funding for HPMPs to the 55^th Meeting, and that those requests should include details on each of the components for the requested funding;
3. To approve an advance of US $408,000, and US $53,040 in agency support costs, which represented 10 per cent of the total requests for project preparation for HPMPs submitted by UNEP to the 54^th Meeting; and
4. That the amounts in sub-paragraph (c) above would be deducted from any amounts to be approved for future HPMP preparation requests.
