Contacts: Ms. Elena Olaru. elena.olaru@undp.orgBackground
The Republic of Moldova is Party to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer (Vienna, March 22, 1985) and Montreal Protocol (Montreal, September 16, 1987) since 1996. In this line, the country has committed to gradual phase-out of ozone depleting substances (ODS), such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), mostly because of their high Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP). The XIX Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol in September 2007, through its Decision XIX/6 adopted an accelerated phase-out schedule for HCFCs (Annex C Group I). The first control step was to freeze production and consumption of HCFCs from 1 January 2013, at the Baseline Level (average of 2009 and 2010 levels). The other control targets are reduction of 10% by 2015, reduction of 35% by 2020, reduction of 67.5% by 2025 and reduction of 97.5% by 2030, allowance of 2.5% of baseline (annual equivalent) for period 2030-2040 and complete phase-out by 2040. Republic of Moldova is an article five Party to the Montreal protocol and must comply with the above phase out timetable. The Executive Committee (ExCom) of the Multilateral Fund (MLF) approved at its 72nd meeting in May 2014 the project supporting the Republic of Moldova to develop the HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan Stage II proposal, focusing on compliance with the Montreal Protocol targets. The Republic of Moldova’s HCFCs Phase-Out Management Plan (HPMP) – Stage II project for the 2016-2020 period to reduce HCFCs consumption by 35 per cent of the baseline has been approved by ExCom 77th meeting. The project is implemented jointly by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as Lead Implementing Agency and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), as Co-operating Implementing Agency. The HPMP Stage II project is focused on collection of information inputs in consultation with the industry/commercial/private/public sectors and design the national interventions for the Republic of Moldova to meet 2020/35% HCFCs phase-out obligations. HPMP Stage II programme addressed phase-out of HCFCs consumption mainly in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) servicing sector, with focuses on commercial refrigeration. The project document has been prepared by the National Ozone Unit (NOU) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment (MoARDE), with the support of UNDP CO, and has gone through national stakeholder consultation process to agree on the format of MLF assistance needed to accomplish HCFCs Phase-Out Management Plan.
