The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve, in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Peru for the period 2012 to 2015 to reduce HCFC consumption by 10 per cent of the baseline, at the amount of US $310,111, consisting of US $232,671, plus agency support costs of US $20,940 for UNDP, and US $50,000, plus agency support costs of US $6,500 for UNEP;
2. To note:
   1. That the Government of Peru had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 26.88 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 27.30 ODP tonnes and 26.45 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol; and
   2. That the amount of 2007-2009 average consumption of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyols would be added to the starting point upon submission of stage II of the HPMP, within the context of a foam sector plan;
3. To note the commitment of the Government of Peru to ban imports of pure HCFC-141b no later than 1 January 2015;
4. To deduct 3.74 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
5. To approve the draft Agreement between the Government of Peru and the Executive Committee for the reduction in consumption of HCFCs, as contained in Annex XX to the present report;
6. To approve the first tranche of stage I of the HPMP, and the corresponding tranche implementation plans, at the amount of US $145,970, consisting of US $108,000, plus agency support costs of US $9,720 for UNDP, and US $25,000, plus agency support costs of US $3,250 for UNEP; and
7. That funding would be disbursed only upon receipt by the Secretariat of confirmation from the Government of Peru that an enforceable national system of licensing and quotas for HCFC imports and exports was in place and that the system was capable of ensuring the country's compliance with the Montreal Protocol HCFC phase-out schedule for the duration of the Agreement.
