The
Thirty-fourth Meeting of the Executive Committee decided to approve the project
for the phase-out of methyl bromide in cut flowers according to the conditions
stipulated in Annex XII.26 to the present report.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/34/58,
Decision 34/55, para. 75).
The
Forty-first Meeting of the Executive Committee decided:
(i) to
note with concern that, even though UNIDO had received funding for the
preparation of a project proposal for the methyl bromide sector, in which
participation by major stakeholders is foreseen, as required by the guidelines
for preparation of such projects, UNIDO submitted a project for Uganda that did
not reflect its actual methyl bromide consumption;
(ii) also
to note that Uganda is in non-compliance with both the terms of the Montreal
Protocol and the Executive Committee agreement;
(iii) further
to note, however, that, with the same level of assistance originally agreed by
the Fund, the Government of Uganda has undertaken a commitment to the Executive
Committee and the Parties to the Montreal Protocol to achieve significant
reductions leading to a complete phase-out of methyl bromide by 2007; and
(iv) to
approve the change of technology foreshadowed in the progress report submitted
by UNIDO and to request UNIDO to implement the project within the time and in
the manner now proposed, on the understanding that UNIDO will submit annual
progress reports prior to disbursement of annual tranches.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/41/87,
Decision 41/78, para. 116(c)).
