Bangladesh,
Bolivia, Burkina Faso, China, Indonesia,
Iran, Israel, and
Tanzania supported the establishment
of the two ad hoc intersessional working groups on technology and
finance.
Colombia, on behalf of the 130 members of the Group
of 77, said that the establishment of the CSD's intersessional
working groups need to have an agenda of themes that include the
review of financial requirements and the policy framework for their
effective mobilization as well as the requisite actions needed for
removing the barriers that interfere with the transfer of
technology. On behalf of the European Union,
Belgium urged
that the CSD intersessional working groups should focus on
technical aspects, not policy.
On behalf of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, Chile said that the
creation of the two CSD working groups on technology transfer and
finance has generated new expectations for a solution to these
serious problems. Overcoming these obstacles is a prerequisite for
the implementation of all of the agreements reached in Rio and
sustainable development.
