Decision 59/5

Following the discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To adopt the 2010-2012 model rolling three-year phase-out plan as a flexible guide for resource planning for the corresponding triennium, noting the significant uncertainty with regard to the amount of HCFC consumption to be addressed during this period;
2. To urge Article 5 countries with approved but not implemented projects, and the relevant bilateral and implementing agencies, to accelerate the pace of implementation during the 2010-2012 triennium;
3. To urge bilateral and implementing agencies to work with those countries that had been identified as being in need of immediate assistance to meet the 2010 Montreal Protocol phase-out targets, and to include activities in their 2010 business plans as appropriate;
4. To request the Secretariat to present an updated model rolling three-year phase-out plan for the years 2011-2013 to the last Meeting of the Executive Committee in 2010 to provide guidance, as relevant, for the preparation of the 2011-2013 business plan of the Multilateral Fund; and
5. To note that:
   1. Some 17,704 ODP tonnes of ODS consumption and 6,018 ODP tonnes of ODS production had yet to be phased out in approved multi-year sectoral and national phase out plans during the remainder of 2009 and in the 2010-2012 triennium;
   2. Some 19,780 ODP tonnes of ODS consumption had yet to be phased out in approved individual or umbrella projects (on the basis of the progress report submitted by bilateral and implementing agencies to the 58^th Meeting of the Executive Committee);
   3. Three refrigerant management plan projects for low-volume-consuming (LVC) countries approved in accordance with decision 31/48 (e.g., to achieve the 2005 and 2007 CFC phase-out targets on time); 98 terminal phase-out management plans for LVC countries; 41 national ODS phase-out plans for non-LVC countries; and 12 phase-out plans in the production sector in seven non-LVC countries were currently being implemented.
