42nd Meeting - Montreal, March-April 2004

Documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/42/18 and Add.1:  contains 13 activities submitted for approval by UNEP.  Two activities recommended for blanket approval have been considered in Agenda Item 7(a).  Six activities associated with refrigerant management plans will be considered in Agenda Item 7(d), investment projects. Five activities related to renewals of institutional strengthening projects are for individual consideration. 

• Consideration of institutional strengthening renewals for four countries (Barbados, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Vincent and the Grenadines) which are in actual or potential non-compliance with the Montreal Protocol.  In these circumstances the Executive Committee has in the past approved institutional strengthening for one year only, instead of the customary two years. 

 

• Consideration of renewal of the second year of Phase II of the institutional strengthening project for the Bahamas.  The project was renewed for one year only, at the 39th Meeting.  If the Committee is satisfied that Bahamas has demonstrated its commitment to returning to compliance with the provisions of the Montreal Protocol and that implementation of the TPMP has started, the second year could be approved. 

The Committee may wish to:

 

1. Approve the institutional strengthening renewals for Barbados, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Vincent and the Grenadines for one year only and express to the Government the views contained in Annex II to the document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/42/18 and Add.1.

 

2. Approve the institutional strengthening renewal for the Bahamas for the second year of the Phase II project.
