Decision 60/31

Following a discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve the project for HCFC-141b used in the manufacture of rigid polyurethane and integral skin foam at Poli-Mix, at the amount of US $210,000, plus agency support costs of US $27,300 for Italy;
2. To note:
   1. That the Government of Croatia agreed at the 60^th Meeting to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the level of consumption in 2008;
   2. That the quantity of HCFCs eligible for Multilateral Fund assistance for phase‑out to meet Croatia’s 2013 freeze and 2015 phase-out targets corresponded to 10 per cent of the starting point for aggregate reductions in HCFC consumption;
   3. That the deduction of 1.76 ODP tonnes (16.0 metric tonnes) of HCFCs from the starting point for aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption constituted an accelerated phase-out and that approval of the project was on an exceptional basis without prejudice to future projects; and
3. To request the Government of Italy to provide to the Secretariat, at the end of each year of the project’s implementation period, progress reports that addressed the issues pertaining to the collection of accurate data in line with the objectives of decision 55/43(b), and to include the report in the implementation reports on the HPMP, once it had been approved.
