The Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to authorize the Secretariat, in coordination with the country concerned and the Implementing Agencies, to implement the procedures for project cancellation leading to the possible automatic cancellation of projects except in those cases where the Secretariat and the Implementing Agency concerned did not agree to cancel the project and in those cases where the project was critical to a country’s compliance with existing or future control measures of the Montreal Protocol;
(b) to request countries with projects considered for cancellation, where the cancellation was critical to a country’s compliance with existing or future control measures of the Montreal Protocol, to present its views on the cancellation along with any actions that the government would take to reactivate the project.
