High-level negotiations
have continued into the early hours of Saturday morning as ministers
and senior officials remained locked in talks. However, according
to some observers, the disagreement now revolves around one key
area, which one participant identified as "the links between
compliance and mechanisms eligibility." With some ministers
due to depart first in a few hours, negotiations are continuing.
Meanwhile, a Plenary held late Friday adopted other decisions
such as those on organizational matters, as well as the reports
of its subsidiary bodies.

FRIDAY, 7:00 PM GMT Delegates to COP-7 are still struggling to reach a deal as the meeting enters its final hours. As high-level negotiations continued late Friday, delegates were struggling to complete an agreement on the operational details for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. Such an agreement is widely seen as an essential prerequisite for ratification and entry into force of the Protocol.
