The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Oman for the period 2011 to 2015 to meet the 10 per cent reduction in HCFC consumption, at the amount of US $471,354, consisting of US $349,120, plus agency support costs of US $26,184 for UNIDO, and US $85,000, plus agency support costs of US $11,050 for UNEP;
2. To request UNIDO to report to the 69^th meeting whether an updated licensing and quota system had been enacted before 1 January 2013;
3. To note that the Government of Oman had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 31.47 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 30.7 ODP tonnes and 32.2 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, plus 1.10 ODP tonnes of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyol systems, resulting in 32.57 ODP tonnes;
4. To deduct 6.79 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 Oman and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXIX to the present report; and
