The Executive Committee decided:
- To note, with appreciation, the report provided by UNDP and the efforts made to facilitate the supply of technology with low global-warming potential (GWP) to the systems houses Shimtek and U-Tech funded under stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan for Brazil, contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/83/11;
- To note the introduction of low-GWP technology by the systems house Shimtek; and
- To request UNDP to continue assisting the Government of Brazil in securing the supply of low-GWP alternative technologies to the systems house U-Tech, on the understanding that no incremental operating costs would be paid until the technology originally selected or another low-GWP technology had been fully introduced, and to provide a report on the status of its conversion at each meeting of the Executive Committee until the technology originally selected, or another low-GWP technology, had been fully introduced, along with an update from the suppliers on the progress made towards ensuring that the selected technologies, including associated components, were available in the country on a commercial basis.
