Decision 80/68

Following the deliberations of the informal group, the Executive Committee decided:

1. To note:
   1. The progress report on the implementation of the fourth tranche of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Kenya;
   2. That the revised starting point for sustained aggregate reduction in HCFC consumption was 33.41 ODP tonnes;
2. That the Fund Secretariat had updated the Agreement between the Government of Kenya and the Executive Committee, as contained in Annex XXIV to the present report, specifically paragraph 1 and Appendices 1-A and 2-A on the basis of the revised starting point for sustained aggregate reduction, and paragraph 16, which had been added to indicate that the updated Agreement superseded that reached at the 66^th meeting;
3. To deduct an additional 0.63 ODP tonnes from the remaining consumption eligible for funding as a result of reallocation of funding of servicing-related activities under the project management unit (PMU);
4. To request the Government of France to submit a report to the 81^st meeting providing detailed reporting on the activities that had been and continued to be undertaken by the PMU for stage I of the HPMP; and
5. To approve the fifth and final tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Kenya, and the corresponding 2017 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $90,000, plus agency support costs of US $10,900 for the Government of France, on the understanding that if Kenya were to decide to proceed with retrofits and associated servicing to flammable and toxic refrigerants in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment originally designed for non-flammable substances, it would do so assuming all associated responsibilities and risks and only in accordance with the relevant standards and protocols.
