Decision 64/50

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the report on the use of the interim guidelines for the funding of demonstration projects for the disposal of unwanted ODS, while mindful that there was as yet very little experience in the implementation of the full pilot projects;
2. To request implementing agencies to provide an update to the Secretariat on how those guidelines were used in carrying out the approved ODS disposal pilot projects as their implementation progresses, no later than the 69^th meeting;
3. To reiterate that, in line with decision 58/19(a)(iii), bilateral and implementing agencies were requested to report annually to the first meeting of the Executive Committee on progress and experiences gained in demonstration projects on disposal, commencing in the first year after project approval, and to include in those reports information on: the amounts of the different ODS collected or identified, transported, stored and destroyed, as well as on financial, managerial and co‑funding arrangements, and any other relevant issues, starting at the 66^th meeting;
4. To request the Secretariat to prepare a report for the consideration of the Executive Committee at the 70^th meeting based on subparagraph (b) above, summarizing the experience gained and making recommendations for future action; and
5. To request the Secretariat to continue using the interim guidelines and applying them also to pilot projects for low-volume-consuming countries until the Committee had considered the report requested in subparagraph (d) above.
