2. To note that the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 0.50 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 0.42 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol and estimated consumption of 0.58 ODP tonnes for 2010;

4. To approve the draft Agreement between the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XVII 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
