Proposal from Saudi Arabia to amend the Kyoto Protocol (Agenda item 7 (b))

Following the proposal of the President, the COP adopted the agenda as follows

The proposal would place the thematic debate under the normative segment of the agenda, instead of as a stand alone item of the agenda.

On the proposal of the President, the agenda was adopted by the COP MOP as follows

If you will allow me, Mr. Chairman, I will reiterate the Movement's proposal on the agenda items.

The meeting supported this proposal and the format and the annotated agenda were subsequently adopted, as orally amended.

But we have a number of suggestions for new proposals for the agenda and modifications to the Chairman's proposal.

Moreover, the proposal is not precise with regard to the agenda to be pursued and the structure of the discussions.

Therefore, as we understand it, the proposal for agenda item 1 was not agreed to by the Non Aligned Movement.

Under agenda item 7, the Conference will consider a proposal for the identification of official contact points for Governments and observers.

I can report that the United States does not agree to the proposal for agenda item 1 as amended by the Non Aligned Movement.

Noting the proposals in Economic Development and UN reform Towards a common agenda for action A proposal in the context of the Millennium Development Goals,

Through you, Mr. Chairman, we would like to request that our proposal on agenda items be circulated as an official document of the Disarmament Commission.

At its resumed 266th (organizational) meeting on 18 July 2005, the Commission continued to discuss the Chairman's proposal for the two agenda items as listed above.

Are there any comments as to whether or not we should add the words and non proliferation at the end of my proposal for agenda item 1?

Mr. Rachmianto (Indonesia) As I indicated in my previous remarks on behalf of the Non Aligned Movement, our proposal is on the table regarding the two agenda items.

The Chairman said that, as far he understood, the proposal was made so as to give delegations more time to prepare for the debate on the agenda item.

Thus, when the first part of the NAM proposal referred to non proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects, that already reflected our flexibility on that agenda item.

Proposal

Not surprisingly, the proposal was quickly shelved. Now, with countless private interest groups trying to water it down into irrelevance, the battle will be firmly on the EU s agenda in 2006.

A proposal is considered an amendment to another proposal if it merely adds to, deletes from or revises part of that proposal.

In other words, to facilitate our work, I would suggest that, unless there is an objection, we take this opportunity to look again at my proposal for agenda item 1, nuclear disarmament.

That is your proposal as I understand it, and on that basis I think we can make some additional progress, depending on how the formulations of the other agenda items turn out.

Regarding the first part of the proposal, he noted that the agenda for international meetings was very crowded, and that in the interest of efficient planning the proposal called for the Ozone Secretariat to inform the Parties of any changes made to the indicative dates by posting the changes on its web site.

We are dealing with the Chair's proposal and not with a United States proposal or any proposal from any delegation or group of delegations.

In response to your previous question as to whether your proposal as a whole would serve as a basis, we just heard a delegation state that it had difficulty with the proposal, especially agenda item 2, that it was proposing a completely new item and that it insisted on the addition of a third item.
