Decision 74/20

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To request bilateral and implementing agencies:
   1. To continue assisting Article 5 countries, during implementation of their HCFC phase-out management plans (HPMPs), in securing the supply of the alternative technologies selected;
   2. To report to the Executive Committee on the status of use of the interim technology selected by an Article 5 country at each meeting up until the original technology selected or another technology with a low-global-warming potential (GWP) had been fully introduced;
   3. To include in the submission of any future stage of an HPMP for which a low‑GWP alternative to HCFCs had been selected detailed information from the suppliers on how and when an adequate supply of the technology would be made available to the country; and
2. To note that any change in the final technology other than that proposed in the approved project would require approval by the Executive Committee, in line with paragraph 7 of each country’s Agreement with the Executive Committee, where applicable, and with relevant Executive Committee decisions relating to changes of technology.
