Notes
Item 2 (c) of the provisional agenda
Abstract
The intention of the present note is to assist the Committee to further elaborate the functions of the two subsidiary bodies before they start working. This note draws upon documentation prepared for the eighth session of the Committee (see A/AC.237/33, A/AC.237/34 and A/AC.237/36 and Add.1) and on the preliminary discussions held at, and submissions to, that session. It also reflects relevant documentation prepared for the ninth session (see A/AC.237/44 on methodological issues, A/AC.237/45 on the first review of information communicated by Annex I Parties, A/AC.237/47 on the first review of the adequacy of commitments and A/AC.237/48 on the report on implementation).
Section II of this note describes possible functions that might be performed by the subsidiary bodies. Drawing on the text of the Convention, it then proposes which body might most appropriately carry out each function.
Section III summarizes the key points of the approach proposed for the allocation of functions between the subsidiary bodies. It also addresses the issue of scheduling of meetings of the bodies and their needs for technical and analytical support.
Section IV is intended to assist the Committee in its deliberations on the three institutional options proposed to satisfy the requirements of COP 1, commenting on their legal ramifications and their implications in terms of scheduling and related costs
