2. To note that the Government of Burundi had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 7.15 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 6.90 ODP tonnes and 7.40 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;

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 Burundi, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $138,050, consisting of US $45,000, plus agency support costs of US $5,850 for UNEP, and US $80,000, plus agency support costs of US $7,200 for UNIDO.
