The Thirty-first Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies to work together in defining more precisely the estimated duration of projects and, in particular, distinguishing between the physical completion of the project and other outstanding activities, such as equipment destruction and project completion reports.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/31/61, Decision 31/18, para 38).
The Thirty-third Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the Implementing Agencies, in co-operation with the Secretariat, to determine proposed project duration on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the particular circumstances, instead of presenting all projects with the same standard duration. Instances where the Implementing Agencies and the Secretariat could not reach agreement on proposed project duration should be brought to the attention of the Sub-Committee on Project Review when the project was submitted for approval.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/33/32, Decision 33/2, para. 18(b)).
The Thirty-fourth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to request the Secretariat and the Implementing Agencies to review the duration of individual foam projects with a view to shortening the time for the completion of HCFC-141b conversions, and to report their findings to the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance at its 15th Meeting; and
(b) also to request the Sub-Committee on Monitoring, Evaluation and Finance to consider the issue at its 15th Meeting, in the context of business plans.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/34/58, Decision 34/15, para. 34).
