INTERIM ARRANGEMENTS

During the meeting of the Chair's Group Tuesday night, delegates discussed the draft resolution on interim arrangements (A/AC.241/L.20). Apparently, one of the contentious issues was paragraph 4, which requests the Secretary-General to make recommendations to the General Assembly at its forty-ninth session regarding arrangements for further sessions of the Committee until the first meeting of the Conference of Parties. Some OECD delegates were concerned with this "open-ended" request and proposed instead that arrangements should be made for one further session in 1996. They further proposed that should further sessions after 1996 be deemed necessary, the INCD will make the necessary request to the Secretary-General.
