The Seventeenth Meeting of the Executive Committee, recognizing the good cost-effectiveness of aerosol sector projects and the desirability of supporting the initiation of phase-out activities for contract fillers in this sector, decided:
(a) to continue taking into account incremental operating savings when preparing aerosol project proposals;
(b) to request Implementing Agencies to calculate net operating costs/savings in the aerosol sector, including the difference in cost per can when filling with CFC or HAPs, when preparing project proposals;
(c) to recognize that savings resulting from CFC phase-out for contract aerosol fillers, and in circumstances where a parallel market exists, may accrue to the national economy but that quantifying these savings is analytically difficult and applying these savings at project level may not always be feasible.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/17/60, Decision 17/15 para. 24).
The Twenty-fifth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to stipulate that a project document should include verification by the agencies’ consultants and certification by the Government concerned that the enterprise operated as a “contract filler”.
