The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the report provided by UNDP on the status of use of different technologies and the challenges faced while adopting low-global-warming-potential (GWP) foam‑blowing agents by enterprises that had been provided with assistance under stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Trinidad and Tobago, contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/83/11;
2. Also to note that, after completing the necessary administrative and financial procedures for cancellation of the project at Ice Con, UNDP would return unspent balances from the project when the next tranche of stage I of the HPMP was submitted;
3. To request the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, through UNDP, to inform the enterprise Seal Sprayed Solutions, which had received financial support to convert from the use of HCFC-141b to methyl formate as the blowing agent, that it should supply systems based only on the selected technology or other low-GWP-based blowing-agent technologies; and
4. To request UNDP to continue assisting the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and to provide, at the 84^th meeting, a report on the status of the introduction of the proposed technology in applications covered under the foam sector.
