(b)  the Government of Argentina agrees that no additional Multilateral Fund resources would be requested for activities in the solvent sector, except for the phase-out of bromochloromethane (BCM). A future proposal might be submitted, consistent with Multilateral Fund rules in effect at the time, for a level of consumption not exceeding 1.405 ODP tonnes of BCM;

(c)  the Executive Committee agrees to provide Argentina with flexibility in using the agreed funds consistent with operational procedures, as agreed between the Government of Argentina and UNIDO in the phase-out plan in the solvent sector;

(d)  the Government of Argentina agrees that appropriate legislation will be put in place by 2005;

(e)  the Government of Argentina agrees to ensure accurate monitoring of the phase-out and to provide annual reports on the verified level of consumption of CTC, TCA and CFC-113; and

(f)  UNIDO will be responsible, inter alia, for the following:

      (i)   reporting annually on the implementation of all activities funded under the sector plan; and

      (ii)  providing verification to the Executive Committee annually that ODS consumption phase-out in the solvent sector has been completed based on the schedules listed in the table above.
