2. To approve the implementation of a pilot project for ODS waste management and destruction in Turkey at the amount of US $1,076,250, plus agency support costs of US $80,719 for UNIDO, noting that approval was on the understanding that:
   1. No further funds would be available for Turkey for any ODS disposal projects in future;
   2. Any marketing of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions generated by or associated with the project would be subject to a decision by the Executive Committee; and
3.
