ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Although the ICCBD was not a negotiating session in the sense that it could adopt formal decisions, a programme of action or a convention, there were a few areas where the ICCBD was able to show concrete accomplishments. These include prioritizing the issues, agreement on most of the rules of procedure, and agreement on the terms of reference of the subsidiary body on scientific, technical and technological advice.
