34. The Executive Committee noted with regret that the programme had been submitted too late to permit its detailed examination. Nevertheless, it approved the programme on the understanding that approval of the overall programme did not imply approval of each and every project contained therein. The Executive Committee further approved the disbursement of US$ 400,000 to enable Ecuador to initiate activities; US$ 300,000 of the sum would be used to carry out feasibility studies on aerosols and US$ 100,000 for the reduction of CFC-11 use in foam at three refrigerator manufacturing plants.
35. The Executive Committee decided to defer consideration of the institutional strengthening component of the programme pending preparation by the Fund Secretariat of a document dealing with institutional strengthening in countries operating under paragraph 1 of Article 5 for consideration by the Committee at its Seventh Meeting.
