Following a discussion, the Executive Committee decided to approve the request for project preparation funds for Ethiopia at the level of funding indicated in Annex VII to the present report, on the understanding that:
- Funding would not be disbursed until the Government of Ethiopia had reported its Article 7 data for 2006 and had ratified the London Amendment, pursuant to decision 51/19; and
- No further funding would be considered until such time as an official commitment, in writing, to ratify the Copenhagen Amendment to the Montreal Protocol had been received by the Fund Secretariat from the Government of Ethiopia.
