Plenary

On its draft decision requesting parties to consider listed applications as process agent uses, the EC (center) noted it has undertaken extensive consultations with a number of parties, and expressed hope that agreement could be reached at COP-7/MOP-17.

MBTOC Co-Chair Nahum Marban Mendoza, Mexico (center), said the handbook on critical use nominations is a comprehensive guide to the CUN process. He underscored that standard presumptions for soil and post-harvest treatments used in the previous three rounds of CUNs were incorporated in the Handbook, and that such presumptions should not be applied when not technically or economically feasible.

Contact Groups

Chair of the budget contact group Jean-Louis Wallace, Canada, presented draft decisions on the financial reports and budgets of the Convention and the Protocol, dealing with, inter alia: the 2006-2008 revised budget for the Convention trust fund; the Convention's contribution to be paid by parties for 2006-2008; the drawdown for 2006-2008 from the Convention Fund balance; and the revised 2005 and the proposed 2006 budgets for the Protocol Trust Fund.
