Decision 67/38

July 2012
UNIDO
ODS Disposal

Following the discussion in the informal group the Executive Committee decided:

  1. To note the information paper containing a project concept for a strategy for the disposal and destruction of ODS in six low-volume-consuming countries in the Central African region (UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/67/Inf.2), submitted by UNIDO;
  2. To allow UNIDO, on an exceptional basis and without setting a precedent for any further submissions, to submit a full proposal for a technical assistance project for the environmentally sound management of ODS waste for six countries in the Central African region at a level not exceeding US $100,000, for consideration by the Executive Committee at its 68th meeting, while noting:
    1. That the Executive Committee recognized that this technical assistance project would not fall within the Executive Committee guidelines for ODS disposal projects (decision 58/19) and was allowed only in line with decision 66/25, by which a project for Africa had been agreed for submission; and
    2. That no further projects of a similar nature for ODS disposal could be considered by the Executive Committee in future in line with decision 64/17.
