IN THE CORRIDORS

The OPEC countries are actively lobbying for an amendment to the Rules of Procedure on the composition of the Bureau. Their proposed amendment for Rule 22 (Officers) would add a member of the Bureau from the oil exporting developing countries, to complement the member from the small island developing States. Although this amendment lacks consensus, some delegates fear that it will not be withdrawn and, as a result, the final compromise might have negative implications for their group.
