Bilateral and, in particular cases agreed by a decision of the Parties, regional co-operation may, up to 20 per cent and consistent with any criteria specified by decision of the Parties, be considered as a contribution to the Multilateral Fund, provided that such co-operation as a minimum:
(a) strictly related to compliance with the provisions of the Protocol;
(b) provides additional resources; and
(c) meets agreed incremental costs.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/2/3 Annex IV, Appendix IV of Decision II/8, para. 8).
The amount representing the annual bilateral co-operation would be credited for the year designated by the non-Article 5 Party, as part of its contribution.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/5/16 Annex IV, para. 12).
The Executive Committee in its annual report to the meeting of the Parties shall provide recommendations in respect of contributions of specific Parties to the Multilateral Fund made through regional co-operation. The amount representing regional co-operation accepted by the Parties shall be credited against contributions due from a non-Article 5 Party to the Fund for the year designated by the country.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/5/16 Annex IV, para. 13, 14).
