The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve in principle, stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Tunisia for the period 2014 to 2018 to reduce HCFC consumption by 15 per cent of the baseline, in the amount of US $1,966,209, consisting of US $1,100,195, plus agency support costs of US $77,014 for UNIDO, US $100,000, plus agency support costs of US $13,000 for UNEP, and US $600,000, plus agency support costs of US $76,000 for the Government of France;
2. To note that the Government of Tunisia had agreed to establish as its starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption the baseline of 40.7 ODP tonnes, calculated using actual consumption of 44.3 ODP tonnes and 37.0 ODP tonnes reported for 2009 and 2010, respectively, under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol, plus 5.02 ODP tonnes of HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyol systems, resulting in 45.72 ODP tonnes;
3. To deduct 10.6 ODP tonnes of HCFCs from the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption;
4. To note that any reduction in HCFC consumption above 15 per cent would assist the country in meeting its 2020 phase-out target under the Montreal Protocol;
