Highlights from
Friday, 16 April 2004
On Friday, 16 April,
during informal consultations, delegates completed a first reading of the
Strategy Document, discussing sections on trade, sustainable capacity
development and education, sustainable production and consumption, national
enabling environment, health, knowledge management for decision making,
culture, implementation, access to financial resources, and monitoring and
evaluation. Following this, delegates considered the way forward.
Facilitator MacKay recommended, and delegates agreed, that informal
consultations be held on 28 and 29 August in Mauritius prior to the
International Meeting.
He also proposed the convening of informal informals in New
York, possibly in May, to move discussions forward, and reported that the
Secretariat would produce a compilation text, which would be the basis for
negotiations during the informal informals. This was then agreed to during
the formal meeting of the Preparatory Meeting.
