In preparing for the sixteenth session of the SBSTA, the secretariat examined whether the pending sections of the guidelines under Articles 7 and 8 on reporting and review of assigned amount information and national registries, as contained in the appendices to decisions 22/CP.7 and 23/CP.7, are consistent with other decisions taken by the COP at its seventh session, in particular its decision 19/CP.7 on modalities for the accounting of assigned amounts under Article 7, paragraph 4. This document provides the results of this consistency check. The appendix to this document contains a proposal for a draft COP decision and the full revised text which could be incorporated into the text of the guidelines under Articles 7 and 8
