   2. That the established starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption was 3.35 ODP tonnes, calculated using the actual consumption of 2.3 ODP tonnes and 1.3 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, plus 1.55 ODP tonnes of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyols not reported under Article 7 in eligible enterprises;
   3. The commitment of the Government of The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to ban imports of HCFC-141b, both pure and contained in pre‑blended polyols, as soon as the last foam manufacturing plant had been converted to non-HCFC technology, scheduled for the year 2015;
   4. That the Fund Secretariat had updated the Agreement* between the Government of The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and the Executive Committee on the reduction in consumption of HCFCs as shown in Annex XII to the present report:

      2. To include the phase-out of the use of HCFC-141b in pre-blended polyols, pursuant to decision 60/38(g)(i), with the associated changes to Appendix 2-A, reflecting the associated costs of US $136,955, plus agency support costs of US $10,272 for UNIDO;
      3. To add a new paragraph 16 to indicate that the updated Agreement superseded the Agreement reached at the 60^th meeting; and
