43rd Meeting - Geneva, 5-9 July 2004

Documents UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/43/46, UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/43/47, and UNEP/OzL.Pro/ExCom/43/48:  contain, respectively, the country programme of Guinea-Bissau, and updates for Lebanon and Romania. 

• Guinea-Bissau has not as of 15th Meeting of the Parties reported completed data for the establishment of baselines for Annexes A, B, and C to the Montreal Protocol;
• For Lebanon, the consumption of CFCs is reportedly higher than the two options defined by Decision 35/57.  The 2002 methyl bromide consumption reported by Lebanon is higher than the baseline of the country; and
• Romania will need additional phase out activities in order to achieve the 2005 compliance targets for CFC consumption and methyl bromide production.

The Committee may wish to:

 

1. Approve the country programme of Guinea-Bissau and the updates of Lebanon and Romania, noting that approvals of the country programme and the updates do not denote approvals of the projects identified therein or their funding levels.

 

2. Request the Government of Guinea-Bissau to report to the Executive Committee on the progress made in implementation of the country programme annually, and the first report should be submitted to the Secretariat no later than 1 May 2005.

 

3. Consider establishing the level of the remaining CFC consumption eligible for funding at 312.5 ODP tonnes under Option 2 for Lebanon (an increase of 88 ODP tonnes) to address the previously unsurveyed consumption in the southern Lebanon and the West Berkka region

 

9. Potential implications of subsequently increasing the amounts approved for institutional strengthening projects (Decision 42/22 (b))
