THINGS TO LOOK FOR TODAY

The sixth session of the Ad Hoc Group on the Berlin Mandate (AGBM-6) will be held from 3 - 7 March 1997 at the Stadthalle Bad Godesberg, in Bonn, Germany. The AGBM will focus on the preparation of a protocol or other legal instrument. In accordance with the conclusions of AGBM-5 (FCCC/AGBM/1996/11,para. 23 (b)), the main document for the session will be the framework compilation of proposals from Parties (FCCC/AGBM/1997/2).

The provisional agenda, as provided by the Executive Secretary, states that the main result of the session must be agreement on a negotiating text of the protocol or other legal instrument. The text must be circulated in all six official UN languages by 1 June 1997.
