	On Wednesday, 11 November, AEWA MOP6 met for its third day in Bonn, Germany. In the morning, delegates convened in plenary to address financial and administrative matters, and issues affecting the conservation status of migratory waterbirds in the AEWA region, including renewable energy technologies deployment and marine fisheries. During a brief ceremony led by Nick Williams, CMS Secretariat, Croatia and Israel signed the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation of Migratory Birds of Prey in Africa and Eurasia (Raptors MoU). In the afternoon, the working groups on finance and administrative matters and on scientific and technical matters started their work in parallel. The former working group, which was closed to observers, discussed the draft budget proposal for 2016-2018, including four possible budget scenarios. The latter discussed twelve draft resolutions, suggesting minor amendments.
