Following informal discussions, the Executive Committee decided:
- To urge bilateral and implementing agencies and Article 5 countries to implement approved tranches of HCFC phase-out management plans (HPMPs) on time to avoid delays in the submission of future funding tranches;
- To request bilateral and implementing agencies and Article 5 countries to ensure proper planning and distribution of the tranches for stage II of HPMPs to ensure efficient equipment procurement, taking into account relevant decisions of the Executive Committee, in particular the requirement to achieve disbursement of 20 per cent of the previous tranche and to allocation to the last tranche of the stage of the HPMP in question at least 10 per cent of the total funding approved in principle for the refrigeration servicing sector; and
- To consider, on a case-by-case basis, any request for approval, at the same Executive Committee meeting, of two or more tranches of a stage of an HPMP, noting the requirement for revised work and disbursement plans and agreements, and taking into account the availability of resources within the approved resource allocations for the years concerned.
