The Board suspended Honduras for not meeting the publication deadline of their 2015 EITI Report.

The EITI Board decides that Honduras is suspended effective 13 February 2018 due to not publishing the 2015 EITI Report by 31 December 2017.

The EITI Board notes that Honduras did not submit an extension request.

In accordance with the EITI Standard, the suspension will be lifted if the EITI Board is satisfied that the outstanding EITI Report is published within six months of the deadline, i.e. by 30 June 2018. If the outstanding EITI report is not published by 30 June 2018, the suspension will remain in force until the EITI Board is satisfied that the country has met requirement 4.8 (i.e., published an EITI Report covering data no older than the second to last complete accounting period – e.g. the 2016 EITI Report is published by the end of 2018). If the suspension is in effect for more than one year, the EITI Board will delist Honduras.
