The Executive Committee decided:
- To note with appreciation the submission of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) of Seychelles, including the country’s firm intention to phase out HCFC consumption completely by 1 January 2020;
- To approve, in principle, the HPMP for Seychelles for the period 2011 to 2025, at the amount of US $600,000, plus agency support costs of US $76,000 for the Government of Germany, on the understanding that there would be no more funding eligibility for HCFC phase-out in the country after 2025;
- To note that the Government of Seychelles had agreed to establish an estimated baseline of 1.4 ODP tonnes as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption, calculated using actual consumption of 1.4 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and consumption of 1.3 ODP tonnes estimated for 2010;
- To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of Seychelles and the Executive Committee for the phase-out of HCFCs, as contained in Annex to the present document, on the understanding that the country could submit the request for the final tranche, presently foreseen for 2025, in 2020 if HCFC consumption had been completely phased out at that time;
- 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 Seychelles, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $200,000, plus agency support costs of US $25,333 for the Government of Germany.
- This Agreement was revised as per Decision 70/19
