Decision 82/75

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the progress report on implementation of the first tranche of stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Libya;
2. To note the return of US $747,533, plus agency support costs of US $52,327, by UNIDO at the 82^nd meeting, owing to the cancellation of the foam conversion project at Alyem;
3. To request the Government of Libya and UNIDO to submit, each year through the completion of the stage I, a progress report on the implementation of the work programme associated with the second (final) tranche and a verification report on consumption;
4. To request UNIDO to return remaining balances upon financial completion of stage I and to submit the project completion report at the second meeting of the Executive Committee in 2020; and
5. To approve the second and final tranche of stage I of the HPMP for Libya, and the corresponding 2018–2019 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $190,893, plus agency support costs of US $13,362 for UNIDO, noting that the country could be at risk of non-compliance with the Montreal Protocol given that the HCFC consumption reported under Article 7 of the Montreal Protocol in 2017 was only 0.70 ODP tonnes below the level of consumption allowed under decision XXVII/11 of the Twenty-Seventh Meeting of the Parties.
