The Twentieth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) that three Executive Committee meetings should be held in 1997;
(b) that the first meeting, to be held from 17 to 19 February 1997, in accordance with decision 20/54, should consider the Implementing Agencies’ 1997 business plans and work programmes, and any residual projects from 1996;
(c) that the second and third meetings could be held close to the dates of the meetings of the Open-ended Working Group of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and the Meeting of the Parties, respectively, with the precise dates to be determined later in the year, but if the Twenty-second Meeting was held in the same venue as the meeting of the Open-ended Working Group, this would not constitute a precedent and subsequent meetings of the Executive Committee would normally be held in Montreal.

The Twenty-third Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to adopt the Calendar of Meetings and Work Programme of the Executive Committee for 1998 as presented in Annex II.3 which took into consideration the projection of workload during 1998, the timing of other related important events such as the seventeenth OEWG meeting (6-10 July 1998) and the Tenth Meeting of the Parties (tentatively 17-27 November 1998).
