The Executive Committee decided:
- To note the report, submitted by UNDP, on the status of conversion of the systems houses, the 81 small and medium enterprises and the 350 micro-users under stage I of the HCFC phase-out management plan for Egypt and a report on the status of use of the interim technology in Egypt, contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/83/11; and
- To request UNDP to continue assisting the Government of Egypt in securing the supply of alternative technologies with low global-warming potential (GWP), 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.
