RAMESH-MRV 2LST

In the absence of Ramesh, India was represented by
the country's Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Manjeev Puri.
Noting that MRV is not an issue limited mitigation
action by developing countries, Ramesh in his address through
video conference said that the Copenhagen Accord states that
industrialised countries too have to be brought under MRV for
emissions reduction and financing.
Froman said, participants supported the Mexican
Presidency's efforts to prepare COP16, which is expected to be
held in Cancun.
"Many countries noted the importance of moving
forward promptly with the Accord's Fast Start financing
provisions in a transparent fashion.
Several countries presented information on the
actions they were already undertaking in response to their
fast start financing commitment under the Copenhagen Accord,"
he said.
Countries generally felt that Copenhagen Accord
represented an important step forward, and that it provided
important political consensus that should be reflected
regarding the key issues in the negotiations leading up to
Cancun, Froman said.
"Participants discussed goals for Cancun and beyond.
There was a discussion of the role of the Kyoto
Protocol and the form of a legal outcome.
There was also a discussion of the key issues that
need to be addressed to have a successful outcome in Cancun,
noting the importance of setting realistic expectations for
Cancun," he said.
"Various participants also spoke to equity, the role
of markets, engaging smaller countries in the mitigation
effort, how to ensure that the approach going forward reflects
the dictates of science, domestic actions already underway to
implement mitigation commitments under the Accord, and actions
to reduce deforestation," Froman said. PTI LKJ
