Decision 66/46

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Kenya for the period 2012 to 2017 to reduce HCFC consumption by 21.1 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $900,000, plus agency support costs of US $109,000 for the Government of France;
2. To note that the Government of Kenya had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 52.2 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 54.7 ODP tonnes and 49.6 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol;
3. To deduct 11.00 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
4. To note that approval of stage I of the HPMP did not preclude Kenya from submitting, prior to 2015, a proposal to achieve a reduction in HCFCs beyond that addressed in stage I of the HPMP;
5. To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of Kenya and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XXVIII to the present report;
6. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Kenya, and the corresponding implementation plan, at the amount of US $257,500, plus agency support costs of US $31,186 for the Government of France; and
7. To urge the Government of Kenya to ratify the Beijing Amendment to the Montreal Protocol as soon as possible.

• This Agreement was updated as per Decision 80/68.
