Background

Document UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/42/5: contains, the model rolling three year phase-out plan for the Multilateral Fund for the years 2004-2006. The paper includes an analysis of the amounts of ODS that needs to be approved for funding to enable all Article 5 countries to achieve the 2005 and 2007 Montreal Protocol phase out targets plus partial phase-out of the remaining ODS consumption to achieve the 2010 phase-out targets. The paper indicates the ODSs to be phased out in Article 5 countries during the triennium in approved multi-year sectoral and national phase-out plans, and individual and umbrella projects, and the number of RMPs and TPMPs under current implementation in low-volume consuming countries.

Issues

• Whether the paper provides a satisfactory basis for planning the phase-out to be achieved through Multilateral Fund projects and activities, and for business planning for the corresponding triennium.

• The very high level of phase-out that needs to be achieved from already approved projects and the need to ensure successful and timely implementation

Actions

(a) Note that the draft model three-year phase-out plan 2004-2006 presented in this document was used as the basis for the preparation of the 2004-2006 business plans of the implementing agencies;

(b) Consider adopting the model three-year phase-out plan 2004-2006 as a flexible guide for resource planning for the corresponding triennium;

(c) Urge Article 5 countries with approved but not implemented projects and the cooperating implementing and bilateral agencies to accelerate the pace of implementation during the 2004-2006 triennium; and

(d) Request the Secretariat to present an updated model three-year rolling phase-out plan for the years 2005-2007 to the first meeting in 2005 to provide guidance as relevant for the preparation of the 2005-2007 business plan of the Multilateral Fund.
