The Thirteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee agreed to recommend that countries should be given appropriate advice and training so they could appreciate the implications of a phase-out of ODS in that sector.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/13/47, para. 102).
The Fourteenth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided that projects for the conversion of commercial refrigeration units in Article 5 countries should be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the importance of the commercial refrigeration subsector in the economy of the country. Projects which are clearly cost-effective should be considered in their own right.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/14/15, para. 47).
The Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided in the light of the information contained in the World Bank’s report and the views expressed at the current meeting, to request the Secretariat, in conjunction with the Implementing Agencies to prepare a paper on the circumstances under which the Committee could consider projects from Article 5 countries to retrofit commercial refrigeration appliances and on how the incremental costs of such projects should be calculated. The draft paper would be send to Executive Committee members for review and would subsequently be finalized by the Secretariat with the aim of giving the Sub-Committee information on which to base a recommendation on the subject to the Executive Committee at its next meeting.
