The Executive Committee decided:
- To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Myanmar for the period 2012 to 2020 to reduce HCFC consumption by 35 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $314,000, consisting of US $220,000, plus agency support costs of US $28,600 for UNEP, and US $60,000, plus agency support costs of US $5,400 for UNIDO;
- To note that the Government of Myanmar had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 4.30 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 4.1 ODP tonnes and 4.5 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, plus 1.83 ODP tonnes of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre‑blended polyol systems, resulting in a total of 6.13 ODP tonnes;
- To deduct 1.50 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
- To approve the draft Agreement* between the Government of Myanmar and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XVII to the present report;
- To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Myanmar, and the corresponding tranche implementation plan, at the amount of US $159,000, plus agency support costs of US $20,670 for UNEP, on the understanding that disbursement would occur only after confirmation had been received from UNEP that the Ozone Order establishing an ODS quota system had been approved by the Government of Myanmar; and
- To allow Myanmar to submit the foam project for phasing out the HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyols during the implementation of stage I of the HPMP.
- This Agreement was updated as per Decision 80/71.
