The
Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to request the
Implementing Agencies to finalize their 1999 business plans, taking into
account the following considerations:
(a) the total amount not allocated in the
consolidated draft 1999 business plans should remain unallocated but be
assigned to the production sector as a priority;
(b) no agency should be allowed to submit projects
in excess of its allocation;
(c) the allocation for methyl bromide in the business
plans should be considered adequate, but this did not prejudge any decision on
the level of funding for the two large-scale investment projects in Brazil and
Argentina;
(d) in view of the large number of projects that
could conceivably raise policy issues, the Committee should accelerate the
resolution of the relevant policy issues, as well as guidelines still pending;
(e) to request the Secretariat to determine the
level of ODS phase-out targets for each agency for each year for future
business plans based on progress reports and to ask the Implementing Agencies
to explain any deviation from that level;
(f) that UNEP should adjust its business plan:
(i) to
reduce the number of regional halon banking management plans to one pilot
programme;
(ii) to rationalize the
number of methyl bromide activities and to provide more information on the
delivery mechanism, output and content of such activities.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70,
Decision 26/8, para. 24).
The
Twenty-sixth Meeting of the Executive Committee also urged the Implementing
Agencies to take into account the specific comments made by the members of the
Sub-Committee in relation to their business plans in the revision of those
plans to be submitted for final approval by the Executive Committee at its first
meeting in 1999.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/26/70,
Decision 26/9, para. 25).
The
Twenty-seventh Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(a) to take note of the consolidated business
plan;
(b) to approve the following targets for ODS
phase-out calculated by the Secretariat in accordance with decision 26/8 (e):
Agency ODS
phase-out target
UNDP 11,876
ODP tonnes
UNIDO 5,883
ODP tonnes
World
Bank 15,542
ODP tonnes
Total 33,301
ODP tonnes
(c) to reaffirm the minimum disbursement
target of 70 per cent of project funds approved up to the end of 1998 for
investment projects;
(d) to set a target for all agencies of 100 per
cent for submission of project completion reports, taking into account that the
project completion report should be submitted six months after completion of
the project.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/27/48,
Decision 27/2, para. 21).
