42nd Meeting - Montreal, March-April 2004

Document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/42/22/Rev.2:  contains a list of nine projects for individual consideration (Table A) and a list of six projects involving accelerated phase-out or maintaining momentum that might be funded from the window available for the purpose (Table B).  All other investment projects, both on-going and new requests, were recommended for blanket approval and were considered in Agenda Item 7(a). 

• In Table A (see attachment):  each of the eleven projects should be considered for approval individually.  Project descriptions and the comments of the Secretariat can be found in the relevant country project document referred to in Table A (if required, the Secretariat will outline the issue or issues involved). The incremental cost of all projects except the halon banking project for Croatia has been agreed between the Secretariat and the implementing agency concerned.

 

•  In Table B (see attachment):  each of the seven projects conforms to one or more of the criteria for inclusion of projects in the window for accelerated phase-out or maintaining momentum adopted in Decisions 39/6 and 40/7.  Project descriptions and the comments of the Secretariat on all seven projects can be found in the relevant country project document referred to in Table B.  (If required, the Secretariat will outline the issue or issues involved). Incremental costs have been agreed between the Secretariat and the relevant implementing agency for all except the final two projects in Table B: phase out in the aerosol sector in Indonesia, and; national compliance action plan for Sri Lanka.  The status of these two projects is indicated in the relevant country project documents 

The Committee may wish to consider:

 

1. approving each of the nine projects in Table A referred for individual consideration; 

2. whether it is satisfied that the five projects in Table B for which incremental cost have been agreed between the Secretariat and the relevant implementing agency are eligible for funding from the window and whether the projects should otherwise be approved; 

3. deferring the aerosol sector project for Indonesia in Table B with the provisos suggested in the Secretariat’s recommendation contained in the project evaluation document; 

4. how it wishes to proceed with the national compliance action plan for Sri Lanka.
