Ad Hoc working group on long-term cooperative action under the convention

The Ad Hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action (AWG-LCA) at its sixth session, had before it a negotiating text prepared by its Chair as requested by the AWG-LCA at its fourth session. During the sixth session Parties provided general comments on its structure and content, stated reservations and objections to elements of the text, and proposed additions and modifications. This resulted in a revised negotiating text, which is contained in the annex to this document. The numbering of the paragraphs in the original text has been maintained, with additional paragraphs numbered between the original paragraphs and alternatives to original paragraphs so indicated. Objections and reservations concerning elements of the original text are reflected using square brackets. The document also contains suggestions made by Parties related to the structure of the negotiating text and the placement of elements within it.
