AG13 discussion continued on
Saturday. Regarding paragraph 4 (nature of the MCP), AUSTRALIA raised the possibility of
duplication by the MCP of other FCCC dispute settlement work. The EU, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
and IRAN noted the MCP’s purpose is advisory only. |
Chair Patrick Széll (UK) recalled
that during AG13-5, delegates agreed that the MCP should be advisory rather than
supervisory in nature. They also agreed that AG13 should complete its work by COP-4. He
stressed that the meeting will discuss only the MCP and not the Protocol.

The US asked the G-77/CHINA if the
intention was only to confine discussion of the second review to that agenda item at
COP-4; and about the timing of the next and subsequent reviews.
|
| HUNGARY said the timing of reviews
should not be linked to the unratified Kyoto Protocol (In SBI). |
 |
 |
ZIMBABWE, for the drafting group
(AG13), reported that Parties agreed to remove brackets from paragraph 2 (objective),
which is to resolve questions regarding implementation of the FCCC. |
| AOSIS said that Parties should
not distract from Protocol implementation, noting the CDM will assist sustainable growth
with climate protection. |
