Following further discussion in an informal group, the Executive Committee decided:
- To note the progress report on the implementation of the second tranche of the HCFC phase‑out management plan (HPMP) for Mauritius;
- To approve the third tranche of the HPMP for Mauritius, and the corresponding 2017−2020 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $332,750, plus agency support costs of US $40,140 for the Government of Germany, on the understanding:
- That Mauritius had consumption in the service sector only and that training activities for servicing agencies would result in smoother and faster adoption of the identified technologies;
- That the Government of Mauritius would provide co-financing for the approved demonstration and user-incentive programme for conversion to technologies with low global-warming potential, thereby demonstrating its strong commitment to supporting the adoption of such technologies; and
- That, if Mauritius were to decide to proceed with retrofits to flammable and toxic refrigerants in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment originally designed for non-flammable substances, along with the associated servicing, it would do so assuming all associated responsibilities and risks and only in accordance with the relevant standards and protocols.
