On Friday, 19 September, the OEWG convened in plenary throughout the day.
In the morning, delegates heard reports from the contact groups on technical matters and legal clarity, and a report from the Friends of the Co-Chairs group on the Cartagena Declaration on the Prevention, Minimization and Recovery of Hazardous Wastes and Other Wastes. They also heard progress reports on, inter alia: international coordination and cooperation activities, including on environmentally-sound ship recycling and the Partnership for Action on Computing Equipment; financial matters; and the first meeting of the Environmental Network for Optimizing Regulatory Compliance on Illegal Traffic (ENFORCE). They adopted a decision on national reporting, following informal consultations among interested parties.
In the afternoon, the OEWG adopted several decisions, including on: a roadmap for action to implement the Cartagena Declaration; technical guidelines on persistent organic pollutant (POP) wastes; technical guidelines on mercury wastes; technical guidelines on e-waste, including a way forward to facilitate agreement on outstanding issues, at COP-12; and the glossary of terms to improve legal clarity, which provides guidance to the small intersessional working group on legal clarity on how to revise the glossary.
