INTERIM PERIOD:

Many countries felt it was not useful to focus on the interim period. However, Brazil stated that the GEF should be provided with criteria for the interim period. The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) noted that, according to the Convention, the GEF's eligibility as the interim mechanism is dependent on its restructuring, scheduled to be completed by December 1994, after the first COP and, therefore, there is no basis for a decision to be taken on this point.
