• The baseline and monitoring methodology AMS III.C “Low Emissions Vehicles”, Version11.
• The First phase regards replacement of 763 taxies expected to reduce 25,686 tCO2e/10years.
• The POA began on April 21st, 2009 and expected to last for 28 years, though the length of the individual SSC-CPAs shall not be more than 10 years.

DNAis not a PoA Partner (i.e., it hasn’t signed the Protocol for PoA implementation), but it plays a critical role in the SSC-CPAs by:
• Reviewing and approving Environmental Impact Assessments, per Egyptian law, for each Processing and Storage Site and Recycling Facility Site.
• Approving environmental monitoring plans submitted by PoA Participants.
• Performing random spot-checks / audits of on-going operations of these facilities and enforcing monitoring plans presented in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
