The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its thirty-eighth session, agreed to continue, at SBSTA 39, its consideration of issues relating to modalities and procedures for applying the concept of additionality, with a view to forwarding a draft decision on that matter to the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP) for adoption at CMP 9.1. The SBSTA invited Parties and admitted observer organizations to submit to the secretariat, by 2 September 2013, their views on the issues referred to in paragraph 1 above, and requested the secretariat to compile those submissions into a miscellaneous document for consideration at SBSTA 39.2. The secretariat has received four such submissions from Parties. In accordance with the procedure for miscellaneous documents, these submissions are attached and reproduced in the languages in which they were received and without formal editing. There have been no submissions received from admitted observer organizations
