Decision 64/27

One member requested that Germany and UNDP adjust the amounts to be disbursed to achieve a more balanced allocation of the tranches of funding during stage I of the HPMP. Following a discussion on ways to improve the balance between the tranches of funding, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for the Plurinational State of Bolivia for the period 2011 to 2020 to meet the 35 per cent reduction in HCFC consumption, at the amount of US $315,000 plus agency support costs of US $40,950 for the Government of Germany;
2. To note that the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 4.8 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 4.4 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol and estimated consumption of 5.2 ODP tonnes for 2010, plus 0.6 ODP tonnes of HCFC‑141b contained in imported pre-blended polyol systems, resulting in 5.4 ODP tonnes;
3. To deduct 1.7 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
4. To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex VIII to the present report;
5. 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
6. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for the Plurinational State of Bolivia, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $94,500 plus agency support costs of US $12,285 for the Government of Germany.

• This Agreement was revised as per Decision 72/25
