SUBSIDIARY BODY FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Tenth session

Bonn, 31 May - 11 June 1999

Agenda item 3 (c)

At its _____ meeting, on _____ June, having considered a proposal by the Chairman, the SBI adopted the following conclusions:

(a) The SBI took note of document FCCC/SBI/1999/6. It recognized that the work on the review process under the Convention, including the technical review process for greenhouse gas inventories, is distinct but related to the work on the review of implementation under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol. It generally endorsed the suggested approaches in document FCCC/SBI/1999/6 for these future review processes, noting that some aspects of that document need to be discussed further. It concluded that consideration of issues related to interim reporting should be postponed until matters relating to reporting and review under the Kyoto Protocol have been resolved;

(b) The SBI took note of the information contained in document FCCC/SBI/1999/INF.2 and welcomed the fact that 27 in-depth review visits have taken place so far. It expressed concern that only seven in-depth review reports could be published before the tenth session of the SBI;

(c) The SBI requested the secretariat to prepare a report on experience with the review of second national communications, including suggestions for avoiding delays in the publication of reports in the future, for consideration at its twelfth session.
