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.
