Decision 66/51

After brief consultations among the interested parties, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To take note of document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/66/50 containing information on options for a tracking system to correlate, by country, the amounts of HCFC‑141b‑based pre-blended polyols exported by systems houses, with the amounts used by foam enterprises in importing Article 5 countries that had been approved for phase-out, which could be updated on a periodic basis;
2. To consider discounting from a country’s starting point for aggregate reductions in HCFC consumption the amount or average amount of HCFC-141b contained in pre‑blended polyols exported for the year or years on which the starting point had been based;
3. To invite bilateral and implementing agencies, in collaboration with the Governments of Chile, China and Colombia, to provide the Secretariat with the best available data on the amount of HCFC-141b in pre-blended polyols exported in 2009 and 2010;
4. To request the Secretariat to update the information on the amounts of exports and imports of HCFC-141b contained in pre-blended polyols specified in Table 1 and Annex I, respectively, of document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/66/50, based on information invited under subparagraph (c) above and on additional or updated information reported in the context of HCFC phase-out management plans to be submitted, and to report back to the Executive Committee at its 68^th meeting; and
5. To consider, at the 68^th meeting, when to deduct the amounts of HCFC-141b exported in pre-blended polyols from the starting points for aggregate reductions in HCFC consumption of the countries concerned.
