Decision 91/25

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the report on progress in the implementation of the conversion of the foam enterprises and the availability of hydrofluoroolefin (HFO)/HFO-based polyurethane (PU) systems and their associated components funded under stage II of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Uruguay and the request for an additional extension of the date of completion for stage II, as submitted by UNDP and contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/91/18;
2. To approve, on an exceptional basis, the further extension, to 31 December 2023, of the date of completion of stage II of the HPMP for Uruguay, given the delay in completing the conversions of the remaining foam enterprises owing to the lack of availability of the alternative and supply-chain disruptions;
3. To note that the ban on imports of pure HCFC-141b would be implemented by 1 January 2023 and that the ban on HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyols would be effective as of 1 January 2024;
4. To request the Government of Uruguay, through UNDP, to submit:
   1. At the 93^rd meeting, a progress report on the implementation of the conversion of the foam enterprises, the availability of HFO/HFO-based PU systems and the status of the legislation to ban the import and use of HCFC‑141b and HCFC-141b contained in imported pre-blended polyols; and
