- To note that the Government of Papua New Guinea had agreed to establish an estimated baseline of 3.4 ODP tonnes as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption, calculated using actual consumption of 3.2 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and consumption of 3.7 ODP tonnes estimated for 2010;
- To approve the draft Agreement between the Government of Papua New Guinea and the Executive Committee for the phase-out of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXIX to the present document;
- To request the Fund Secretariat, once the baseline data were known, to update Appendix 2-A to the Agreement to include the figures for maximum allowable consumption, and to notify the Executive Committee of the resulting change in the levels of maximum allowable consumption and of any potential related impact on the eligible funding level, with any adjustments needed being made when the next tranche was submitted; and
- To approve the first tranche of the HPMP for Papua New Guinea, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $350,000, plus agency support costs of US $41,300 for the Government of Germany.
