Decision 60/41

Following the discussion, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve the demonstration project for phase-out of HCFC-22 and HCFC-141b from the manufacture of unitary air-conditioning equipment at Petra Engineering Industries Co. without funding for any of the cost items related to the conversion of the manufacturing of tube-and-fin heat exchangers for the remaining activities, at a level of US $2,167,033, plus agency support costs of US $162,527 for UNIDO;
2. To consider funding of the cost items related to the conversion of the manufacturing of tube-and-fin heat exchangers, removed from the funding as per sub‑paragraph (a) above, when the related policy issue contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/60/47 was being considered;
3. To request UNIDO and the Government of Jordan to deduct 8.06 ODP tonnes of HCFCs (125 metric tonnes of HCFC-22 and 10.8 metric tonnes of HCFC-141b) from the starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in eligible consumption, as set by Jordan’s HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP);
4. To deduct US $65,500 from eligible costs for future service sector activities in Jordan under an HPMP;
5. To note the commitment of Petra Engineering Industries Co. to develop, convert manufacture and actively promote HC-based split air conditioners;
6. To request UNIDO not to shift the funding of US $279,750 for the activities referred to under (e) above to any activity not related to the above commitment;
7. To request UNIDO to provide to the Secretariat at the end of each year of the project’s implementation period, or part thereof, progress reports that addressed the issues pertaining to the collection of accurate data in line with the objectives of decision 55/43(b); and
8. To note that the funding provided under this demonstration project was not indicative of future funding levels for similar conversions.
