Decision 55/21

In the ensuing discussion, one Member pointed out that, according to the data provided in the request, Armenia already imported twice as many non-CFC MDIs as it did CFC MDIs. He advised that, with institutional strengthening support and assistance from UNEP’s CAP, Armenia should be able to prepare and implement its MDI transitional strategy without assistance from the Fund. In response, UNDP explained that, owing to a drop in the price of CFCs, the country’s imports of CFC MDIs had risen recently and that the assistance was required to ensure a successful transition. Although that view was supported by some Members, no consensus was reached on the issue. As a result, the Executive Committee decided not to approve the request for the preparation of a CFC-MDI transitional strategy for Armenia.
