The Executive Committee decided to approve the project proposal for the conversion of two production lines at one enterprise (MANAR) manufacturing domestic refrigeration equipment from HFC-134a to R-600a in the amount of US $352,985, plus agency support costs of US $24,709, for UNIDO, on the understanding:
- That, the enterprise, MANAR, had committed not to use HFCs in the manufacturing of domestic refrigeration equipment after the conversion had been completed, including on the remaining production line that had not been included in the present project;
- That the Government of Morocco would establish a ban on the manufacturing and import of HFC-134a-based domestic refrigeration equipment once the conversion project at MANAR had been completed;
- That 36,684 carbon dioxide-equivalent tonnes of HFCs (25.65 metric tonnes of HFC-134a) would be deducted from the starting point for sustained aggregate reductions in HFC consumption once it had been established, and that the deduction would be undertaken in accordance with the methodology agreed under the HFC cost guidelines currently under discussion; and
- That the project referred to in subparagraph (a) above would be integrated into stage I of the Kigali HFC implementation plan for Morocco once the plan had been fully formulated and submitted for consideration by the Executive Committee.
