Decision 64/35

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Rwanda for the period 2011 to 2020 to meet the 35 per cent reduction in HCFC consumption, at the amount of US $312,000, consisting of US $170,000 plus agency support costs of US $22,100 for UNEP, and US $110,000 plus agency support costs of US $9,900 for UNIDO;
2. To note that the Government of Rwanda had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 3.9 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 3.8 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol and estimated consumption of 4.1 ODP tonnes for 2010;
3. To deduct 1.4 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 Rwanda and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XVI 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 Rwanda, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $107,410, consisting of US $42,000 plus agency support costs of US $5,460 for UNEP, and US $55,000 plus agency support costs of US $4,950 for UNIDO.
