The Fourteenth Meeting of the
Parties decided:
1. to
request the Executive Committee to therefore make it clear that its funding
decisions are always without prejudice to a Party’s duty to meet its
obligations under the Protocol, and are also without prejudice to the operation
of the mechanisms in the Protocol that exist for the treatment of Parties in
non-compliance. Accordingly, the Executive Committee should include language to
this effect in its funding decisions where non-compliance is potentially at
issue;
2. to
note that while the Implementation Committee may take into account information
from the Executive Committee consistent with paragraph 7(f) of the
non-compliance procedure, the Executive Committee has no formal role in the
crafting of Implementation Committee recommendations;
3. to
further note that in no case should any Implementation Committee action be
construed as directly requiring the Executive Committee to take any specific
action regarding the funding of any specific project;
4. to note that the
Executive Committee and Implementation Committee are independent of each other.
However, pursuant to Article 10, the Multilateral Fund operates under the
authority of the Parties and, pursuant to the non-compliance procedure of the
Montreal Protocol, the Implementation Committee reports its recommendations to
the Parties for possible decision.
(UNEP/OzL.Pro.14/9,
Decision XIV/37).
