The Executive Committee requested the World Bank to verify, in the 2017 verification exercise to be conducted in 2018, that two HCFC production lines for which closure contracts had been signed had been dismantled and the key equipment had been destroyed. The World Bank was also requested to verify, on a one‑time basis, that two newly established HCFC‑142b production lines were vertically integrated with the production of downstream facilities and all HCFCs produced in the new lines would be for feedstock use. Reports of future verification exercises would include the status of HFC‑23 that had been stored in the previous years, including the amounts incinerated, sold and vented. The penalty clause in the HPPMP Agreement was applied on the basis that 887.64 metric tonnes of compensated HCFC production capacity had been redirected towards feedstock production by one enterprise; China would return the amount of US $133,146 to the Multilateral Fund.

Stage I of the HPPMP for China (decision 80/80)

The Executive Committee decided to approve, upon receipt of a formal request, extension of implementation of stage I of the HPPMP to 31 December 2018. In this regard the World Bank was requested to return the balances from stage I of the HPPMP and to submit a project completion report to the first meeting in 2019, and to agree on a contingency amount of up to US $40,000 for coordination activities, on the understanding that there would not be any further increase in the planned expenditure for technical assistance activities unless otherwise approved by the Executive Committee.
