Decision 64/45

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Mexico for the period 2011 to 2018 to reduce HCFC consumption by 30 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $16,250,031, consisting of US $3,891,279 plus agency support costs of US $291,846 for UNIDO, and US $11,225,029 plus agency support costs of US $841,877 for UNDP;
2. To note that stage I of the HPMP also covered US $3,171,146 in already approved HCFC phase-out projects (US $2,428,987 plus agency support costs of US $182,174 for UNDP, for the project for conversion from HCFC-141b and HCFC-22 in the manufacture of polyurethane insulation foam for domestic refrigerators at Mabe, approved at the 59^th meeting; and US $520,916 plus agency support costs of US $39,069 for UNIDO, for the project for phase-out of HCFC-22 and HCFC-141b in aerosol manufacturing at Silimex, approved at the 63^rd meeting);
3. To note that the Government of Mexico had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the consumption of 1,214.8 ODP tonnes reported for 2008 under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, which were the latest data available when the HCFC phase-out project for Mabe had been approved at the 59^th meeting;
4. To note the deduction of 66.8 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption for two projects approved at the 59^th and 63^rd meetings, and the deduction of a further 350.3 ODP tonnes of HCFCs for the implementation of stage I of the HPMP;
5. To note that approval of stage I of the HPMP did not preclude Mexico 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 Mexico and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXV 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 levels of maximum allowable consumption accordingly; and
8. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Mexico, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $5,132,196, consisting of US $2,271,610 plus agency support costs of US $170,371 for UNIDO, and US $2,502,526 plus agency support costs of US $187,689 for UNDP.
