IN THE CORRIDORS

Environmental NGOs expressed surprise and disappointment that they were not allowed access to the main floor of the Plenary and the COW. Several NGO representatives said that this lack of access to delegates had not been the customary practice in meetings of the INC, particularly given the contribution of environmental NGOs to the work of the Convention. A group of NGOs plan to appeal to the President and the Executive- Secretary to reconsider this matter.
