Replace Paragraph 178 in FCCC/AGBM/1997/3/Add.1 with the
following text:
178. In order to ensure that the latest scientific information
including IPCC Assessment Reports is reflected in this Protocol, the
Parties shall review the Protocol. The timing of the first review
shall be determined at the first session of the Meeting of the
Parties, and the timing of further reviews shall be determined at
subsequent sessions of the Meeting of the Parties.
178.1 Without prejudice to paragraph 178 above, the Meeting of
the Parties may review the Annex to the Protocol at the request of
the Parties.
Replace Paragraph 246 with the following text:
246. This Protocol shall enter into force on the ninetieth day
after the date of deposit of the [fiftieth] instrument of
ratification, acceptance, approval or accession by a Party to the
Convention, including the instruments of [the Parties included in
Annex I to the Convention], the total of whose aggregate emissions of
carbon dioxide in 1990 exceeds [three-fourths] of the total aggregate
emissions in 1990 by [all the Parties included in Annex I to the
Convention].
246.1 For each Party to the Convention that ratifies, accepts
or approves the Protocol or accedes thereto after entry into force of
the Protocol, the Protocol shall enter into force for that Party on
the ninetieth day after the date of deposit of its instrument of
ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.
246.2 To be developed further on how to deal with, in
paragraph 246, instruments deposited by regional economic integration
organizations.
There is one correction we would like to make on the text we
submitted. On page 75, paragraph 190, second line, replace the word
qualitative with quantitative.
It therefore should read:
190. The Parties shall within six months of the third
Conference of the Parties, adopt binding provisions to enable the
Parties to have quantitative greenhouse gas emissions
obligations.
