The Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to note that Dominican Republic's baseline consumption of methyl bromide is 104 ODP tonnes, its latest methyl bromide consumption reported for 2001 to the Ozone Secretariat is 141 ODP tonnes and, therefore, Dominican Republic might not be in compliance with the 2002 freeze target;
(b) to agree that, notwithstanding this fact, and without prejudice to the operation of the Montreal Protocol’s mechanisms dealing with non-compliance issues, funding of US $922,900 plus agency support costs is approved in accordance with the agreement between the Government of Dominican Republic and the Executive Committee, contained in Annex XII.10 to the present report.
