The Seventeenth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided that there should be an investigation of the practicality and implications of taking operating savings resulting from recovery and recycling into account and adjusting at a subsequent meeting of the Executive Committee institutional-strengthening grants or any other Fund-supported activity related to ozone layer protection for the country concerned on the basis of reported quantities of recovered ozone-depleting substances. This would not apply to small demonstration projects, and requested the Secretariat to prepare a paper on the subject for submission to the Committee at its Eighteenth Meeting.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/17/60, Decision 17/12 para. 21).
The Twenty-fifth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the Secretariat to undertake further study on the question of the gains arising from recovered and recycled ozone-depleting refrigerants, which would lead to a renewed discussion within the Sub-Committee on the issue of offsetting benefits in large recycling efforts.
