The Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to urge all Implementing Agencies responsible for an institutional strengthening project in a country without a compliance baseline to ensure that, before projects and activities other than institutional strengthening were prepared and submitted to the Executive Committee, the country had been provided with every assistance, as a matter of urgency, to report its compliance baseline data and describe its situation to the Ozone Secretariat;
(b) that projects for countries that did not have a compliance baseline should be considered in the light of the advice provided by the Implementation Committee.
