The Chairman recalled that the COP had referred a number of its agenda items to the SBI, and noted that the SBI at its ninth session, should aim at preparing draft decisions on these items for recommendation to the COP for adoption.

8. The Chairman noted that the previous day the COP had accorded observer status to the intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations listed in document FCCC/CP/1998/14 and Add.1, and accordingly these organizations would also be admitted as observers to the current session of the SBI.
