The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Zimbabwe for the period 2011 to 2020 to meet the 35 per cent reduction in HCFC consumption, at the amount of US $1,038,818, plus agency support costs of US $124,270, for the Government of Germany, on the understanding that:
   1. US $560,000 were provided to address HCFC consumption in the refrigeration servicing sector to reach up to and include the 35 per cent reduction in 2020 in line with decision 60/44; and
   2. US $478,818 were provided for the investment component for the phase-out of 6.11 ODP tonnes of HCFCs used in the foam manufacturing sector;
2. To note that the Government of Zimbabwe had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption an estimated baseline of 15.44 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 12.38 ODP tonnes and 18.50 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, plus 6.11 ODP tonnes of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre‑blended polyol systems, resulting in 21.55 ODP tonnes;
3. To note the commitment by the Government of Zimbabwe to ban imports of HCFC‑141b, both pure and contained in pre-blended polyols, by no later than 1 January 2015;
4. To deduct 11.51 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
5. To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of Zimbabwe and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XX to the present report; and
6. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Zimbabwe, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $426,891, plus agency support costs of US $51,068 for the Government of Germany, noting that US $7,474, plus agency support costs of US $972, would be allocated at the 65^th meeting and that the Government of Germany would submit a request for the remaining balance of US $419,417, plus agency support costs of US $50,096, to the 66^th meeting.
