The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note:

   2. That 82 countries had submitted 2016 CP data, 75 of them using the web-based system;
   3. With concern, that 62 countries had not submitted 2016 CP data as at 16 May 2017, and that the Secretariat had therefore been unable to present an analysis on HCFC production and consumption for 2016;
2. To request:
   1. UNEP to report to the 80^th meeting on the finalization of the formal HCFC quota system by the Government of Burundi, and the amendment of the licensing system on the accelerated control measures for HCFCs by the Government of Mauritania;
   2. The Secretariat to send letters to the governments of countries with outstanding 2014, 2015 and 2016 CP data reports urging them to submit the reports immediately;
   3. The relevant implementing agencies to continue assisting the Governments of Morocco, Nigeria and Turkey in clarifying data discrepancies between 2015 CP data and Article 7 data and to report back to the 80^th meeting; and
3. To request the Secretariat to include in the “Overview of issues identified during project review” document issued at each meeting a summary of the prices of the controlled substances and the alternatives to be phased in, as communicated by enterprises requesting funding in any new project proposals, including clarification of any differences between those and the prices reported in the CP data reports.
