NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM ANNEX I PARTIES

The Secretariat gave an oral report on national communications for Annex I Parties, stating that 31 In-Depth Reviews have been undertaken so far, 16 of which have been issued and published. Responding to a request by AUSTRALIA, the Secretariat later circulated the report as a conference document (FCCC/SBSTA/ 1996/CRP.5). There were no further interventions on this issue.

In its final session, SBSTA adopted conclusions, taking note of the report and progress made in national communications of Annex I Parties, urging Parties to submit their national communications on time, and encouraging those that have not yet nominated experts to do so.
