ICCM-3 reconvened on Wednesday, 19 September in Nairobi, Kenya. Delegates met in the morning plenary session to hear progress reports from the contact groups on emerging policy issues, and financial and technical resources. The plenary also addressed: implementation of and coherence among international instruments and programmes; information exchange and scientific and technical cooperation; and the health sector strategy. The contact group on financial and technical resources met throughout the day to continue its deliberations in parallel with plenary.
In the afternoon, the contact group on emerging policy issues resumed discussions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products and on nanotechnology and manufactured nanomaterials. The plenary session considered the agenda items on cooperation with intergovernmental organizations, and activities of the Secretariat and adoption of the budget.
Delegates’ discussions reflected a general spirit of cooperation, although much work remains to be done to reach agreement on the remaining emerging policy issues and on financial and technical resources. In both the morning and the afternoon’s discussions, delegates expressed concern about future financial arrangements, with many lamenting that the current financial crisis has continued to place a strain on disbursements from donors. A budget group was established to address the draft indicative budget for 2013 – 2015, as well as the activities of the Secretariat.
The budget group as well as the contact groups on emerging policy issues and on financial and technical resources met in the evening, and will report back to plenary on Thursday, 20 September.
