Decision 79/38

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To approve the reallocation of US $1,293,558 from the savings expected from the polyurethane (PU) foam sector plan of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Mexico to the conversion of two extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam manufacturing enterprises from the use of HCFC-142b to HFO-1234ze;
2. To deduct 1.0 ODP tonne of HCFCs from the remaining HCFC consumption eligible for funding; and
3. To note:
   1. That the remaining savings from the PU foam sector plan and any remaining funds from the XPS foam manufacturing project would be returned to the Fund by the time of completion of stage I of the HPMP in line with paragraph 7(e) of the Agreement between the Government of Mexico and the Executive Committee;
   2. The commitment of the Government of Mexico not to issue any import quota for HCFC-142b starting on 1 January 2020, and to restrict any potential use of HCFC-22 in the manufacturing of XPS foam through its import and consumption quota system;
   3. That the revised starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption was 1,208.0 ODP tonnes, calculated on the basis of the revised data on imports of HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b for the year 2008 submitted by the Government of Mexico under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol; and
   4. That the Fund Secretariat had updated the Agreements* between the Government of Mexico and the Executive Committee for stages I and II of the HPMP for Mexico, as contained in Annexes XVI and XVII, respectively, to the present report, specifically the starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption and the remaining eligible consumption in Appendix 1-A and Appendix 2-A, and paragraph 16, to indicate that the revised updated Agreements for stages I and II superseded those reached at the 73^rd and 77^th meetings, respectively.

• The Agreement for Stage II of the HPMP was revised as per Decision 90/46
