Notifications of final regulatory action

Within its mandate under its review of systemic issues of general compliance, the Committee was requested to undertake a number of activities.

By its decision RC-11/5, the Conference of the Parties mandated the Committee to:

  1. Based on information from Parties, identify and review issues being faced by Parties in relation to the notification of final regulatory actions, including a quantitative and qualitative analysis, and in particular with regards to the information requirements set out in Annex I to the Convention;
  2. Develop recommendations for consideration of the Conference of the Parties on steps that could be taken by Parties, the Conference of the Parties, the Compliance Committee and others to support Parties with the notification of final regulatory actions.

The Compliance Committee has circulated to Parties a set of questions to collect information, including on notifications of final regulatory action. Responses received from Parties are available here.
