UNDP advised informed the Executive Committee at its forty fifth meeting that it was assisting Chile to phase out its methyl chloroform and Annex B group I substances (other fully halogenated CFCs) consumption through implementation of a solvent sector phase out plan.

In this regard, the meetingparticipants wereas informed that in the European Union (EU), the PIC provision of the Rotterdam Convention has been implemented through EU regulation 304 2003, and that this regulation includes two ODSs carbon tetrachloride and methyl chloroform.
