Decision 94/59

The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note the analysis of the implications of decision 62/17 for implementation of HCFC phase-out management plans (HPMPs) (decision 93/105(a)), contained in document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/94/59;
2. To encourage Article 5 countries to harmonize the timing of tranches of Kigali HFC implementation plans (KIPs) with tranches of HPMPs;
3. That Article 5 countries could submit the final funding tranche for stage I of KIPs, at the earliest, two years prior to the last year of the plan for which a consumption target had been established, on the understanding that the first tranche of stage I of their KIP should be at a funding level not higher than 60 per cent of the total funding for the plan;
4. That the final funding tranche approval of stage I of the KIPs for Article 5 countries would be accompanied by a request for a final tranche implementation report, and where applicable, a verification report on the current stage of the KIPs ensuring that all activities foreseen had been completed and HFC consumption targets had been met;
5. That, after the approval of the final funding tranche of stage I of KIPs, in any unforeseen circumstances where adjustments of funding, including those resulting from non‑compliance with the KIP Agreements with the Executive Committee, needed to be made, those adjustments would be made in the subsequent stage of KIPs; and
6. To revisit the elements referred to in subparagraphs (c) to (e) above in 2028 for their application to future stages of the KIPs, including the level of funding disbursement of stage I of the KIPs that was required for the consideration of stage II.
