Decision 64/41

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note that funding under stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Cameroon would give priority to phasing out HCFC-22 in the refrigeration servicing sector, and that the HPMP component dealing with the conversion of the refrigeration and air conditioning manufacturing sector from HCFC-22 to HFC-410A would be postponed to a later stage of the HPMP;
2. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HPMP for Cameroon for the period 2011 to 2017 to reduce HCFC consumption by 20 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $1,182,725 plus agency support costs of US $88,704 for UNIDO;
3. To note that the Government of Cameroon had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 82.4 ODP tonnes, calculated using the average estimated consumption of 81.7 ODP tonnes and 83.1 ODP tonnes for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under the HPMP;
4. To deduct 25.4 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
5. To note that approval of stage I of the HPMP did not preclude Cameroon from submitting, prior to 2015, a proposal to achieve phase-out of HCFCs beyond that addressed in stage I of the HPMP;
6. To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of Cameroon and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXII to the present report;
7. 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 accordingly; and
8. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Cameroon, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $884,453 plus agency support costs of US $66,334 for UNIDO.

• This Agreement was revised as per Decision 71/30
