For HCFC-141b in pre-blended polyols that was not reported under Article 7, countries that wished to seek assistance for the phase-out of such imports should: Include in the overarching strategy for their HPMPs an indicative list of all the foam enterprises established prior to 21 September 2007 that used imported polyol systems, including the amount of HCFC-141b contained therein Include in the starting point for aggregate reductions in HCFC consumption the annual amount of HCFC-141b contained in imported polyol systems during the 2007-2009 period Decision 61/47 (continued)

  5. For HCFC-141b in pre-blended polyols that was not reported under Article 7 (continued): Note that HCFC-141b in imported pre-blended polyol systems that had not been included in the overarching strategy for the HPMP would not be eligible for funding Include in the sector plan a commitment from the country to put in place, by the time the last foam manufacturing plant had been converted to a non-HCFC technology, regulations or policies banning the import and or the use of HCFC-141b pre-blended polyol systems Decision 61/47 (continued)

  6. Note that Article 5 Parties with eligible enterprises manufacturing HCFC-141b pre-blended polyol systems would be provided with assistance calculated on the basis of consumption of HCFC-141b sold domestically, on the understanding that the full consumption of HCFC-141b by those enterprises manufacturing pre-blended polyol system would be deducted from the starting point Decision 61/47 (continued)
