Paragraph 7
considers the impact of trade and other aspects
of international economic relations. Greece, on behalf of the
European Union (EU), supported by the UK, Sweden, and the US, said
that this paragraph contains elements that are not germane to the
Convention. Brazil, supported by other developing countries, argued
that the effects of trade and other international economic
relations on desertification are very important and should be
retained. The entire paragraph remains bracketed.
