The Executive Committee decided:
- To note the annual progress report on the implementation of the third and final tranche of stage II of the HCFC phase?out management plan (HPMP) for Chile, submitted by UNDP and contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/90/9;
- To note that the individual enterprise Superfrigo and four enterprises associated with the two umbrella projects (Austral and Ixom) had opted not to participate in the polyurethane foam conversion projects under stage II of the HPMP; that three eligible enterprises had been identified and had agreed to join the Ixom group conversion project; and that the associated balance of approved funds of US $111,443, plus agency support costs of US $7,801, would be returned to the Fund by UNDP at the 90th meeting;
- To approve, on an exceptional basis, the extension of the date of completion of stage II of the HPMP for Chile to 31 June 2023, given the delay in implementing phase?out activities owing to the coronavirus disease pandemic, noting that no further extension of project implementation would be requested; and
- To request the Government of Chile, through UNDP as lead implementing agency, to submit, at the second meeting in 2023, progress reports on the implementation of the work programme associated with the final tranche and the project completion report.
